How to load Google Custom Search results dynamically using ajax

I have an audio player on my site, so I cannot page refresh.
I am using ajax to dynamically load the content.

I have set up the google custom search, however, I cannot figure out how I would go about loading the results without a page refresh.
My code for dynamically loading content works like this.

When a link(href) is clicked, I trigger a hash change, then return false to prevent the default behaviour.

				// Trigger Hash Change
				let page = $(this).attr("href");
				window.location.hash = page;

Then I have another function that detects a hash change and will load the appropriate content.

			$(window).bind('hashchange', function () {
	
				let newHash = window.location.hash.substring(1);
									
				$("#main-content").load(newHash + " #ajax-content", function (responseTxt, statusTxt, xhr) {

				}).hide().fadeIn();
			});

The content of my search page is set up like this


	
        
                
                
                    
                        
        
                            
        
                        
                    
                
	

then for the search form I have not changed anything

The Google Custom Search JS Settings are required on the Page:
[ch_pre]
(function() {
var cx = '006140480002229796823:3f-_bji0d1w';
var gcse = document.createElement('script');
gcse.type = 'text/javascript';
gcse.async = true;
gcse.src = (document.location.protocol == 'https:' ? 'https:' : 'http:') +
'//www.google.com/cse/cse.js?cx=' + cx;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);
})();
[/ch_pre]

I have already included the script, the search works. I was just enquiring if there is a way to do it without refreshing the page?
