Staggernation: Three Google APls .
~ API Proximity Search (GAPS) "uses the Google API to search Google for two
search terms that appear within a certain distance from each other on a page.
It does this by using a seldom-discussed Google feature : within a quoted
phrase, * can be used as a wildcard meaning 'any word. '" This is a very
useful tool; it gives users the option of searching for two terms within one,
two, or three words of each other in any order or a specific order.

>- API Web Search By Host (GAWSH) "uses the Google API to search Google
for a query string, and returns a list of the web hosts found in the set of
results. You can then expand any of these hosts and display only the results
from that host...Clicking on the triangle to the left of a host will perform the
same query again, but restricted to that host (using Google's
..site:www.foo.com.. query syntax) , and expand the listing to display the first
10 results." I have to admit I find this particular script more confusing than
useful. I prefer to use Google's site: syntax, but others may find this API to
their liking.

~ API Relation Browsing Outliner (GARBO) uses the Gooqle API to search
Google for pages that are either related to (using the related: keyword) or
linked to (using the link: keyword) that URL. Does not add a great deal to
what Google can do already, beyond offering the option to view the results
as snippets or uris.

Google Rankings . This site contains a number of different options created as search
engine optimization tools for website creators and maintainers. However, some of
these Google tools are what you might call "dual use technologies."
