Is there a way to make a search call to GDS in PHP and have it return XML containing the search results? The Google Desktop API documentation page specifically states:
"This document describes methods for issuing Desktop search queries using HTTP and XML. This XML-based API is supported by both the Windows and Mac OS X versions of Google Desktop. Mac OS X support was added in Google Desktop Mac 1.0.3."
Is there a workaround for Linux? It used to be that you could just include a flag at the end of the url that triggered a return of the search results as XML as opposed to the full Google page as html. Now, they have removed the use of debug flags and included hashing in the URL.
I appreciate any input, thank you!
