Which api should I choose?

Hi, all
Glad to be here.
I have some problems during my project, I would like to query some
words to google, and get something back, for example, how many
results. So which api should I choose? I found there used to be the
google soap search api, but it was no longer used.
Thanks.

Have you considered using one of the other search engines that still
provide a search API?

you can just watch what a browser sends and mimic it with GET/POST.
See http://mindprod.com/products1.html#HTTP for the code.

You can use a sniffer to help clarify what is going back and forth.

Note that Yahoo and some other search engines do offer a search API.
