Change your code to it spoofs a common browser user-agent, change your DHCP-assigned IP address, and try again.

As long as you don't flood them with requests at a higher rate than a human would generate by clicking, I don't see any ethical issue with circumventing their countermeasures, especially not if the search will be triggered by a user input to your application anyway.
