I've been using Bing Searches on another project and they do have quite a good 
search with a good API, so implementing this shouldn't be a big problem.
Also their search seems to work quite well with arbitrary searches, seems to 
work a lot better than Google in that case.

Not sure about the API there are restriction on Transactions/month will be 
better to just get what we need from the URL:

The restriction is 50k searcher per month if I remember correctly, so it 
shouldn't be that big of a problem. Also it would be a legal way to get the 
data ;)

Also, the API isn't subject to changes as frequently, so no need to release 
fixes every time the page layout changes.
