When you search google, it estimates the number of search results e.g.
Results 1 - 10 of about 103,000,000 for hello world
How do I get the number 103,000,000 programmically?
I'm not interested in the results, just that number, and I need to do about 100 of these searches at a time so webpage scrapping is not an option since google tends to block this kind of thing.
I've seen solutions where you can use the google soap API to do this but that's no longer an option since it's deprecated and they're no longer giving away API keys, and the AJAX API doesn't seem to offer this field :/
