To be precise he has taken the custom search engine that Google
provides and pasted it into his HTML, having removed the comment lines
about agreeing to the terms of service.

According to the Google site:

Custom Search Editions

We offer two editions of Custom Search:

Standard edition gives you a tailored search experience using Google
technology. You can also customize the look of your search engine and
integrate into your site using an iframe. You must show ads alongside
the search results, unless you are creating your search engine for a
nonprofit organization, university, or government agency, in which
case you can disable ads. You can make money from these ads with the
AdSense For Search program.

Business edition starts at $100 per year and comes with additional
options. You get guaranteed support and greater results customization
options via an XML API. Ads are not shown next to search results.

Since he is not displaying ads and one assumes he is not paying Google
then (in theory) he must be a nonprofit organisation. Again quoting
Google:

<quote>
In order to disable ads on your free CSE, your site must be a
registered non-profit, educational, or government site. If the site
meets these criteria, simply create a free search engine and follow
the steps below to disable advertising:
</quote>

....and the steps to disable ads are given. One would have to assume
that he has not registered his site as one of the types given.
Presumably it would be possible to report him to Google but I cannot
imagine they would bother to chase it up given that his site receives
no traffic of any real volume.
