This is a complex question, because it involves commercial issues. The search engine operators generally provide approved code fragments, but they also specify restrictions on use, to ensure that the search engine operators benefit from the inclusion of the search field. Generally, you will have to pay if you don't want the use of the particular search engine to be too overt, and you don't run your own search engine software on your web server. To be legally safe, you really need to look at the instructions provided by the search engine operators, not some third party summary of them. The simplest ones will generally just be a form that submits a query the same way as the search engine's normal page does.
