Google Custom Search[1] is still available, albeit limited to 100 free queries a day (and 10k max, even when paying).
That being said, I'm still looking for alternatives as well. This broke my IRC bot and a few scripts rather unexpectedly.

"With Google Custom Search, add a search box to your homepage to help people find what they need on your website." (emphasis mine)
Their video also seems to indicate the same thing: https://youtu.be/Qd9z48Bo8ZA
They say you can search "one website or even a specific topic across multiple websites". This is specifying multiple domains, not a full-index search.
