Incomplete Search Results With Google Search API V1

450 views Asked by At

So I set up my API key and my Search Engine ID and my Custom Search to include the entire web using this post as a reference. The problem is that when I do a search using the C# code the api only returns a resultset of 10 whereas I do the search in a google browser page, google returns me 700+ results. Is this by design? If so what is the purpose of the new api? it's basically worthless. My use case is I have to return a set of results using an "AllInText: [search criteria]" so that the company can validate any sites that contain their company information. If I'm only returning less than .02% of the results this will do me nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives? Am I doing something wrong that is limiting my result set?

You should modify listRequest.Start for every query first:

listRequest.Start = 1;

second:

listRequest.Start = 11;

etc..
