> Hi all,

> I am trying to use Google search API to get the estimated result of

> <script type="text/javascript">
> var webSearch;
> function getQueryReturnCount(query) {
>    webSearch = new google.search.WebSearch();
>    webSearch.execute(query);
>    return webSearch.cursor.estimatedResultCount;
> }
> </script>

> Then in the page

> <script type="text/javascript">
>            document.write("(" + getQueryReturnCount(<?php echo('"'.
> $topissue.'"');?>) + ")");
> </script>

> to show the result.

> But this code it always gives an error saying the cursor object is
> null. I also check the results array, and it is always empty.

> Can you please help me find out why the searcher always fail to
> retrieve the search results?

> BTW: There is also a search div in the same page, using the example
> code after getting the API key, and that searcher works fine.
