Time to remind everyone about searx [0]. It can use google results and you can run your own instance.

Just tried this, saw the following error:

google (unexpected crash: CAPTCHA required)

I like the idea though

I get this error when i try to search in https://searx.me/ :

    Error! Engines cannot retrieve results. 
    google (unexpected crash: CAPTCHA required)
    Please, try again later or find another searx instance.

Yep that seems to happen sometimes. Here is a list of other public instances.
