i've been writing program extracts data web searches. more data, i'd ideally extract more results per query (let's 100 or so).
my question is, there way modify url google, yahoo, or bing (preference in order) can more 10 results per query?
for google, appending &num=99 used work @ 1 point no longer works :( saw similar append of &count=50 didn't work on of search engines either.
the reason num=99 doesn't work google because num parameter's actual value isn't used, instead compared list of allowed values.
the allowed values 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, , 100. other values field ignored.
for bing, parameter count=## ## can 1-100.
for yahoo, parameter n=## ## can 1-100.
in cases, url parameter work if users hasn't specified number of search results show in search engine's search settings. otherwise, cookie take precedence.
