Good question. I don't see it in the official documentation, but it sounds like something that probably won't change. That is, until the control itself is discontinued. Unfortunately, the CustomSearchControl you're trying to use is dependent on Google's Web Search API, which has been deprecated. You can still use the CustomSearchControl for now, but Google has removed the official documentation from their site (I found an archived version on another site) and is directing people to use the Custom Search Web Element, which is essentially the same thing but within an iframe so that, when they change the code, it will continue to work. The downside of the Web Element is that it is not nearly as customizable as doing it with your own JS.
All this to say: I would not hesitate to use the getWebSearcher() method in your script. I WOULD, however, hesitate to use the CustomSearchControl if at all possible. Jeremy R.
