You change the index:

echo $x->responseData->results[1]->url;

To loop through all:

foreach ($x->responseData->results as $r) {
    echo $r->url, "\n";
}

You can inspect the complete result with var_dump($x);.

To retrieve another page of results, you can use the start parameter, e.g.:

$x = json_decode(
    file_get_contents(
    'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&start=4&q='
    . urlencode( $search )));

You can request 8 results instead of 4 with rsz=large.
