Web Search API for Java

I need a Java library for doing web searches ( any search engine is good ). I should be able to to write 开发者_StackOverflowcode such as:

WebSearch search = new WebSearch("Apple");
System.Out.Println("Results = " + search.Results.Count); 

Does such a library/API exist ?

There's an API called JFreeWebSearch: http://www.ke.tu-darmstadt.de/resources/jfreewebsearch

I think this is your best options.

What is important here is Google's API:

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?start=0&rsz=large&v=1.0&q=Apple

Note the "Apple" in the query String.

With this in mind, use any Java HttpClient (URLConnection class, Apache's HttpClient, you name it) to query and get results back.
