This page may help:  www.google.com/searchcode.html

It is not too hard to emulate the search form from within your program
using HTTP components.  I'm currently doing this with Indy in a cgi app
created with BCB6.  (My app is a the search tool for
massively-multiplayer online games:  http://search.tentonhammer.com)

I submit searches using Indy's HTTP component, and get back a Web page
as a string.  I then extract the desired data (in my case, extracting
the result links) and build a Web page that is displayed to the end
user.  You could parse the page returned by Google to pull out whatever
information you want.

Of course, you don't have to use Indy - you could use whatever HTTP
library that you prefer.
