Hi Maarten, CC Search does rely on javascript for the most part. However, it will still work without javascript, as we have some server-side code that will process a request should the user have javascript disabled. It should be really easy to create some sort of widget. For example, inspect the following URL:
http://search.creativecommons.org/?query=flowers&comm=&deriv=&engine=flickr That will redirect to Flickr, searching for works with the keyword "flowers" which can be used commercially and modified (i.e. the two checkboxes on CC Search were both checked). It should be fairly trivial to create a tiny form with a text box for the query terms, a couple of checkboxes, and a select box for the content provider, and then simply submit the form to search.creativecommons.org. I can create a quick example if you like. Let me know...
