Using YQL to perform a Google Search

I am looking to perform a Google Search using the google.search open table. Regardless of the query term there are no results. I have also looked at the source code which uses http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0 to perform the Google Search- but using this URL in the YQL console returns in a suspected bot error.

Any clues on how to use YQL to perform Google searches would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • You may want to look at google.customsearch instead. You will need an API key though.
