Yes, I thought it would be answers you'd be interested in, rather than
the similar questions
   "8 is the largest resultset that you can return from the local
search"
   "The limit to 8 results is due to data licensing contracts."
   "How do I obtain the "next 8" results  ... The API provides no
method to do this. "
all referring to LocalSearch, so I think that won't suit the task.

LocalSearch is not the only Google AJAX Search API, but ...
   "There is a maximum of 64 results returned for the Search APIs and
there is no way to get more"
seems pretty definite.

I presume you got your 5,000 headcount of whatevers from a regular
Google search - do you know what proportion have any associated geo-
information in reality?  It might be tiny, but I suppose still greater
than 64.

You might scan the world, location by location, getting the 'top 8'
results at each point, and de-duplicate later .. almost certainly in
violation of Google's terms about scraping and storing their data
using automated means though.
I can't see another way here.
