Dear Robert, Hi. I seem to be getting repeated results. I am using Google::Search (thanx again!) for results, with the search string (with double-quotes): "Andrea Heutschi" I get back 60 results, but the first 4 are identical to the next 4 and the next 4, etc., all the way to 15 copies of the same 4 results. I have not seen this happen before, and it *seems* to perhaps be due to the fact that the Google resultsSize is 4. BTW, this happens whether I iterate through with next(), or use all() from the start. Please note that using REST::Google::Search, the estimatedResultCount is indeed 4. One last thing, I get *slightly* different results -- 60, vs. 61 or 62 results, if I invoke next(): $result = $result->next; as in your code example at the top, or: $result = $searcht->next; as in the function definition further down on the web page. Why is there a difference, and which is the correct interface? adTHANXvance!

You can safely ignore rsz, that just indicates how many results *per page* that Google returns back. It has nothing to do with how many total results are returned. I can't seem to reproduce your repeated results. I get back a lot of similar-looking facebook URLs, but they are still different.

Dear Robert, Thanx for the heads-up -- and for remembering! :-) I have in fact moved to the new Custom Search API long ago, as to keep with their requested policy. ATB, Aaron On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 10:38 PM, Robert Krimen via RT < bug-Google-Search@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text
