Introduction to Services_Google

Services_Google allows easy access to the Google SOAP APIs for the search engine, spelling suggestions, and cache.

In order to use this package you will need to register for an API key.

Please note that as of December 5, 2006, Google is no longer issuing new API keys for the SOAP Search API.

Services_Google enables you to search, spell checks and get cached pages from Google's cache by using a Services_Google class that provides functions like search(), spellingSuggestion() or getCachedPage().
