body: I wanted to create a search box on my website that would allow the user to directly search another site. It works like this:
  
  
  * The user types in "facebook" in the search bar
  * The app generates the link: <http://instantlogosearch.com/?q=facebook>
  * And upon clicking "Search" navigates to that url (which shows the results on the other site in a new tab
  
  
  By adding the search query after `?q=` it navigates directly to the results page. It is technically just a link to another site, but because it's generated like this I wanted to make sure if that's allowed.
  
  
  The ToS of [Instant Logo Search](http://instantlogosearch.com/) only refer to the use of images on the site and don't mention anything about any kind of integration. The reason why this might be a problem is the additional traffic that Instant Logo Search might experience which could lead to higher costs for them. Although my app is just a small side-project and I don't expect the traffic to be high.
