I've built a php object called cul_gsa_search() to handle the interaction with http://web.search.cornell.edu and parse the xml results it returns. I also have an example wrapper script and css file to display the search results. I'll be happy to share any of this wrapper scrip with anyone who is interested, but it is written for a site that uses the Smarty template engine.
Style the results
I've attached a css stylesheet for Cornell Google search results as a starting point. Certain results may be marked as 'Keymatch Results' and these get special styling.
