In the code, within a doGoogleSearch() function call |
For ie and oe parameters of doGoogleSearch() function call, "latin1" is no longer a
valid value (as described earlier in this chapter).
"latin1" should be changed to "utf8".
AUTHOR: Indeed, every time ie or oe are set to "latin1", they should instead be
"utf8".
That said, the Google Web API ignores the encoding specification and forces
"utf8" so the there's no harm done by the current printing's use of
"latin1".
