Thank you. I had a look but it seems like it is an api to use when you
build a search engine yourself and not to retrieve search results from an
existing index. Correct me if I am wrong here. Thank you again.

It's in fact a generic api that search engines could use. If you want to just just a custom service, then this thread is a bit off-topic in this mailing list, isn't it?

Hi,
     I am in need of a web search api that can get me number of hits. I
want
this to evaluate a research prototype published sometime ago. The system
is
not developed by me and at that time Google had a free web search api. I
cannot find a free web search api to get this thing done as Google, Bing,
and Yahoo are charging for web search apis now. The system needs to query
around 50k - 100k queries. Please let me know if you are aware of
something
useful here. Thank you.
