Google Ajax Search results differ from "normal" Google Results?

I guess anything important you might have to know is within the title. If I use the Google Ajax WebSearch API with, for instance, "Dummy Search" as phrase, my resultset is a different one than if I perform the same phrase over google.com.

How can that be?

My querystring paramter options are exactly the same, language etc.

Thanks in Advance & Kind Regards

  • As you may know, Google search results may vary between different Google data centers. Kinda this is the story with the API calls as well, the results are retrieved from a different DC than what you're routed to when you type Google.com in your browser bar.
