If I recall, Google withdrew that API about six months ago, replacing with a
page-embedded search result API that ensures that their ads will also show up
in the right place. Yech.
If you want programmatic access to a search result, Yahoo is now the best
player in the space, offering a variety of searches, including JSON results
for direct embedding with no server-side code required. See
http://developer.yahoo.com/search/ and Yahoo::Search in the CPAN, and my usage
of same at <http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/LinuxMag/col85.html>.
So much for Google "doing no evil". Yahoo for the win.
