Google not returning more than 64 results

I am using the Google API for .Net http://code.google.com/p/google-api-for-dotnet/ and no matter how many results I ask for Google never returns more than 64.

Here is my code snippet:

GwebSearchClient client = new GwebSearchClient("xyz");
IList<IWebResult> r开发者_开发百科esults = client.Search(this.SearchText.Text, 100);

I expected to get 100 results, but never get more than 64 irrespective of the search term used.

Any ideas?


According to the Google AJAX Search API (which uses the same HTTP requests to Google servers as the .NET API,) the maximum returned results are 64.

Note: The maximum number of results pages is based on the type of searcher. Local search supports 4 pages (or a maximum of 32 total results) and the other searchers (Blog, Book, Image, News, Patent, Video, and Web) support 8 pages (for a maximum total of 64 results).

From here, scroll two lines up. Or search the page for "maximum number".


There is always the option of parsing html:
I needed approximately 200,000,000 (or at least 24M) results, and Since the API wasn't cutting it, I decided to download the html results and parse them manually using regular expressions. With HashTables, I was able to eliminate any duplicates.

My regular expression:
(parse only URLs with the given domain, and contain subdomains with 3-20 alphanumeric chars)

@"((?!www)([A-Za-z0-9-]{3,20})(\.example\.com))"

HTML URL Used:

[C# Source]
String.Format(  "http://www.google.com/search?q=site:{0}&num={1}"+
                "&hl=en&tbo=d&as_qdr=all&start={2}&sa=N&biw=1280&bih=709", 
                "example.com", count, start)

This has been tested in my own applications and yields rather nice results!
