Google Suggest API Parameters

[korneld]

What does exactly the 'num_queries' parameter indicate in the results
of the Google suggest API? (exaple: http://google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&q=microsoft)
I am guessing it's the number of times a query has been typed in by
users, but for what time period? Is it a month's worth, average for
the last several months, or last month's data, or what? Since the
numbers tend to be so high, it may even be possible that it's the
total number of searches for that phrase ever since the API's
inception. Any thoughts on that?

Two things. First, it's the estimated number of results for that query. Second, there is no license that I have ever seen which allows developers to tap that API outside of the google.com interface. In other words, you're not allowed to use it. Believe me, I asked. Sorry.
