I've been playing around with Google CSE (custom search engine) and the only way to integrate it into a site fully seems to be via the Ajax Search API however for somewhat obvious reasons their are times when I would like to adjust the outgoing URL in the results page. Given the script is being propagated on Google servers as an xml document and called by the API I should be able to put some sort of listener in before displaying the results on the page and replace the URL with a more appropriate one.

Now thats the theory but I don't think I have ever seen it done so has any one managed to achieve it? If so can they point me in the right direction of how to get the URL string to manipulate?

Scrap the above due to time constraints and expanding brief I will go with one of the other engines that still offer decent api's :) shame I liked CSE but I think I can achieve what I want using Yahoo.
