Google search ajax api is to restrictive. Any alternatives?

Question

The google search ajax api is terrific, and the .net wrapper available on codeplex makes using it from a .net project very simple. However, the api itself is crippled so that it only returns 64 results per query. Not very useful for many applications.

Ignoring the likely TOS problems, are there known .net libraries that can query the root google website and scrape the results into a resultset? I'm assuming this could result in much larger result counts than the ajax version enabled.

You could link an HTML5 parser, get the page code, and parse it into a DOM. Then you can split the DOM elements and get values from there.
