Yeah Ave's right.
a) Since this is a small budget site, I would just put the search form on your site (adjust it if you can/want to) put the other corporate sites http address in the FORM tag, add a target=blank so that the results opens in a new window and move on.
b) The other way, and I think the way you originally inquired about is to use some server-side scripting (i.e.PHP) that communicates with the corporate website site, "scans" it's contents (ie. the results page) put the results in a string, parses the string to extract the relevant info and strip useless HTML tags etc and construct your own results page incorporating the results ripped from the corporate site. Also there will be a results interface for your site (i.e. prev/next page, etc).
(b) is surely possible, and I have done this sort of thing for checking domains (thru whois server) and even scanning Google for search listing (*shhhh*) - but I think it would be overkill for your site/project.
Good Luck.
