The Following code shows the high-level SearchEngine class, which exposes properties such as ResultsPerPage, QueryText, and Highlight, and has a parameterless method called ExecuteQuery.

public class SearchEngine
{
    private static ISearchProvider _provider = null;

    static SearchEngine()
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(
            WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Search.Provider"]))
        {
            _provider = (ISearchProvider)
                Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(
                    WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings[
                        "Search.Provider"]));
        }
        else _provider = new LiveSearchProvider();
    }

    public SearchEngine()
    {        
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings[
                "Search.ResultsPerPage"]))
            this.ResultsPerPage = Convert.ToInt32(
                WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings[
                    "Search.ResultsPerPage"]);

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(
            WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings[
                "Search.Culture"]))
            this.Culture = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings[
                "Search.Culture"];

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(
            WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings[
                "Search.HighlightEnabled"]))
            this.Highlight = Convert.ToBoolean(
                WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings[
                    "Search.HighlightEnabled"]);
    }
    
    public string ProviderName
    {
        get { return _provider.GetType().Name; }
    }

    private int _resultsPerPage = 10;
    public int ResultsPerPage
    {
        get { return _resultsPerPage; }
        set { _resultsPerPage = value; }
    }

    private int _pageIndex = 0;
    public int PageIndex
    {
        get { return _pageIndex; } set { _pageIndex = value; }
    }

    private string _culture = "en-US";
    public string Culture
    {
        get { return _culture; } set { _culture = value; }
    }

    private string _queryText = "";
    public string QueryText
    {
        get { return _queryText; } set { _queryText = value; }
    }

    private bool _highlight = true;
    public bool Highlight
    {
        get { return _highlight; } set { _highlight = value; }
    }

    public SearchResults ExecuteQuery()
    {
        return _provider.ExecuteQuery(this.QueryText, 
            this.Culture, this.ResultsPerPage, 
            this.PageIndex, this.Highlight);
    }
}

I don't think you need to make the new one where if Google Search Engine (Worlds Largest & Best Search Engine) provides you for free. With Google Custom Search, you can harness the power of Google to create a customized search experience for your own website. Now see the features below :

• Include one or more websites, or specific webpages
  
  
• Host the search box and results on your own website
  
  
• Customize the look and feel of the results to match your site
