Looks like you have a mod_rewrite or script-based directive which is forcing the 404 error - the error itself is generated at the webserver level, not by any client-side code (i.e. Google SiteSearch).

Your search works OK for me in Chrome, Firefox AND IE8 - I get the same results in all browsers - no 404. I get the short URL in the address bar in all browsers, of the form:
www.everydayfiction.com/search/?
cx=007529419963335588653%3Axv8pw52zy20&cof=FORID%3A9&ie=UTF-8&q=Flight


If I view the frame source in Chrome then I get a long URL similar to the long URL you have posted but rurl= instead of siteurl=

My initial thought was that may be you have third party cookies disabled in IE8 (although TBH I'm not sure why that would produce a 404!?), but I have third party cookies disabled in Chrome and it still works OK.
