Here's a coldfusion search example, and here's a php search example.
Search Results - Coldfusion
Sanjeev Shukla presented Coldfusion code for handling the search results 4/12/06 at the CU Web Forum Meeting. He later released a second version with some bug fixes:

Search Results - php
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 with anyone who is interested.
