I am trying to find a way to implement the 'filter' function that is available in normal google.com search but does not seem to be available via the ajax api. The underlying reason why I want this method exposed is because often the reason the estimatedResultCount is so wildly off is due to the REST interface returning results as if filter=1 ( i.e. omits some entries that are very similar ) is set. This causes problems when the filter causes a very small subset to be return ( say < 6 ) yet the following 8 pages ( 8 results per page = total of 64 results ) return the same 6. Yet estimated count shows in the hundreds. There seems no way via the api to handle this issue which is a bit strange. I would like the option to view the duplicate / similar pages (i.e. filter=0 ) or the API to tell me that there is no more unique results in the remaining page sets ( unlikely yes but you can see why I ask ). Any ideas / directions / opinions are greatly appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google AJAX APIs" group.
