Woah, it's all JS front-end with no back-end? Neat. That would limit ability to support other search APIs to those that allow CORS JS access, but that's not unreasonable. If you don't mind, I'd recommend slapping a license on it anyway, in case someone else wants to use it or build upon it. They might not, but doesn't hurt -- unless you want to keep the code to yourself. The MIT license is basically a "you can do whatever you want with this" license that I like. And linking to the github repo in the "About" page on the live site. It's also always reasonable to slap a README on that says "This is a passion/hobby/side project, i will probably provide absolutely no maintenance or support or docs whatsoever, but you are welcome to use the code if you like."
