Google AJAX APIs Google Group

Re: ajax search is returning different results than www.google.com

2009-11-23T22:59:39Z

Hello -
I know that the search results are usually a little different, but not
enough to affect the reliability of the results.
About a month ago, I noticed an issue where a certain site was just
not in the search API results for any of the queries that it would
normally come up in, but was all over search results on Google.com

To my knowledge, there is not.

Hello Jeremy,

Would you happen to know whether there is a TOS for commercial
purposes? Something like a subscribed and paid use of the Google API
for automated searches (maybe per result received)?

Best regards,

Ruben

bah, thank you for pointing that out, added a simple else statement to
do what I wanted to do and it works great, I was just getting to hung
up on why the method wasn't working

Unfortunately, the setSiteRestriction method does not really support
multiple sites. As a viable workaround, though, you can set up your
own Custom Search Engine to search Amazon and Ebay and then direct
your AJAX Search application to utilize your CSE.

.setNoResultsString() is a method of the default SearchControl . Since
you're using a custom RawSearchControl, you'll have to define the
method for yourself.

Hi everyone,

When I try to use .setResultsString I get an error. The error is
telling me the object doesn't support this property or method. Any
help is appreciated :)

Hi Jeremy,

"hold my breath..." indeed this is not recommended if we deal with
google ;-)

I also have negative experience with google malware list.

it's just a shame google does not respond in a timely fashion to serious
requests !

Actually, the problem has been known for some time. There is an bug
filed on the issue tracker which you can star to follow. Check it out
at the link below. I would not hold my breath to hear from Google
directly and personally regarding a solution.

Hi Jeremy,

thx for quick response !
due to the sensitive nature of my problem/request i suggest for further
discussion *not* to use this list....

would be nice to get a solution from google "off-list", because I think
this matter is urgent and vital for a better internet at all !

Unfortunately, this is a fairly command - and known - bug. The AJAX
Search API does not always return the same results that a standard
Google search will, especially when using special operators (e.g.,
inurl: ). There is no known workaround.

[clean-mx] searching for black-hats is not possible

hi @all

we have a public project in complaining about malware sites see:
[link]

now we want to use google to dig out certain url's but results are not
really amazing.

take this php code:

<?php
$url =
"[link]";

Re: "Phrase matching" in query?

2009-11-23T11:46:24Z

This is a known bug in the estimatedResultCount property. Quite
frankly, estimatedResultCount is generally wildly inaccurate and
should not be depended on for mission-critical applications.

Now I am thinking of doing something like this:

$google_ajax_url1 = "[link]
web?v=1.0&rsz=large&safe=moder ate&filter=1&hl=en&gl=us&q=

$google_ajax_url2 = "[link]
