You mean you built a frontend for Google, not a search engine.

That's literally in the title. It says METASearch engine, not search engine. I have never claimed it was a search engine.

OP is being bit dismissive, but IMHO the key feature of a metasearch engine is the processing of results, not the interface. Filtering Google’s results is technically a metasearch engine... but it’s a fairly trivial example.
