In the soon-to-be-release version 12 of the Wolfram Language we are including another option to interact with web pages, namely the function WebExecute. Here is a sneak preview of the documentation: It is based on a repository of mine on GitHub (https://github.com/arnoudbuzing/webtools) and lets you control a Chrome or Firefox web browser. It can complement the WebSearch function in the sense that you can navigate to a page, take screen captures of a page, click on links, type input fields, submit forms, and execute javascript to return text, data, or images from a web page of interest.

@Ian Marius Peters You can delete the saved connections using below commands( those are not documented though): In[11]:= savedConnections = ServiceConnections`SavedConnections["GoogleCustomSearch"] `Out[11]= { ServiceObject[ "GoogleCustomSearch", "ID" -> "connection-6774d4b6c2755d7139e6292d4ee03963"]}` In[12]:= ServiceConnections`DeleteConnection[#] & /@ savedConnections `Out[12]= {Null}` In[13]:= ServiceConnections`SavedConnections["GoogleCustomSearch"] `Out[13]= {}`

From the "Details and Options" section of the documentation for `WebSearch`: WebSearch requires internet connectivity and uses external services that require Service Credits. Perhaps you have exhausted all of your credits and need to purchase more. From the documentation for `ServiceConnect`: ServiceConnect["service","New"] forces a new connection to be created to a particular service.
