Just as a note for anyone else who’s staying away from all things Google, the subscription search service Kagi has a summarizer API and landing page that are free for paid users.
I’ve found Kagi’s results generally vastly better than Google’s, and since it’s a paid service and not funded by trying to show you ads, they don’t track you at all (no search history even, because that’d require building a profile for you). They also allow you to customize how high or low you see results from sites, so you can block stuff you know you won’t want to see and raise sites you know will be more relevant.
The plans are pretty reasonably priced at $5 month for 300 searches, $10 for 1000 and $25 for unlimited. The two lower tiers have 1.5¢ / search cost for searches over the monthly limit, and you can set a hard limit for a maximum pay-per-use cost so you don’t accidentally run up a larger bill than you’d like. I’m on the $10 plan and I usually have ~$5 pay-per-use per month.
