Just wanted to update you guys that I took everyone's good advice, and changed the name of this project to https://bladesearch.com.
I'm sorry for any confusion I may have caused in making you think it was a service of Google's. I viewed it as a tribute to one of my favorite services of theirs (custom search engines) and let that cloud my legal perspective.
Anyway, I didn't hear from Google, but also didn't want them to have to engage their legal team, so I went ahead and rebranded today.
Lesson learned, and thanks again everyone for the great feedback yesterday.
