Hi Jeremy No Luck with that one either, also used & as the concatenation character.
Going back to basics: http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/wizards/newsbar.html To get a 'phrase' I need to use the ' (single quote) when delimiting the search expression. The wizard shows: executeList : ["'thanet array'"] I think that there is possible a bug with the API? I have tried just about every combination I can think of. What I will do though is start with a clean web pag, api key etc rather than trying to embed this within an existing set of code (some of which is ASP). thanks for the advice, I'll post any findings / solution or just can't get it to work!
