<div><br></div>Hi Eros,<div><br></div><div>The <a href="http://blekko.com">Blekko</a> search engine has a free (at least as in "free beer", as far as I can say) search api (<a href="http://www.quora.com/What-can-I-do-with-blekko-api">http://www.quora.com/What-can-I-do-with-blekko-api</a>), even though I am not sure if that would fit your needs. I would have recommended <a href="http://duckduckgo.com">duckduckgo</a> but I am not sure whether it has a programmable API.</div>

<br>
last night I received the distressing news that the Bing Search API will soon stop being free.<br>
<br>
The BootCaT corpus creation toolkit (<a href="http://bootcat.sslmit.unibo.it/" target="_blank">http://bootcat.sslmit.unibo.it/</a>) relies on it. Since we would like BootCaT to remain completely free, we are looking for a (free) alternative to Bing.<br>
<br>
We're currently considering switching back to Google, which offers 100 free queries a day (not ideal, but it should be sufficient for creating a corpus).<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of any other alternative?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
