Anyone know what the search string for Google might be? I'm trying to build a rank finder but the results keeps coming back 0. I'm using this at the moment:

searchUrl = "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=" & strQuery & "&num=100"

add &start=NUM_HERE for specifying which page of results

is that what you need or something else?

Treat me as if you were talking to someone who knows next to nothing...ahem.
Yahoo works using: searchUrl = "http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?p=" & strQuery & "&n=20&rd=r2"
Google doesn't using: searchUrl = "http://www.google.com/search?" & strQuery & "&num=100"

after search you are forgetting q= thats where you put they keyword..

just go do a search from your browser and simply copy the url bro.. it is that easy..
