I will be using python. My plan is to make a program that searches a bunch of things, and sees how many search results google has for it. But I can only figure out how to get custom search engine to kind of work.
In python, how do I use the Google API to do a simple search using Google's main search engine? As I understand, the answer to this has changed within in the last few years as google has made a push to the google app engine.
