The Code

Type this code and save it to a text file called googly.cs:

// googly.cs
// A Google Web API C# console application.
// Usage: googly.exe <query>
// Copyright (c) 2002, Chris Sells.
// No warranties extended. Use at your own risk.
using System;
class Googly {
  static void Main(string[] args) {
    // Your Google API developer's key.
    string googleKey = "insert key here";
    // Take the query from the command line.
    if( args.Length != 1 ) {
      Console.WriteLine("Usage: google.exe <query>");
      return;
    }
    string query = args[0];
    // Create a Google SOAP client proxy, generated by:
    // c:\> wsdl.exe http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl
    GoogleSearchService googleSearch = new GoogleSearchService( );
    // Query Google.
    GoogleSearchResult results = googleSearch.doGoogleSearch(googleKey, 
query, 0, 10, false, "", false, "", "latin1", "latin1");
    // No results?
    if( results.resultElements == null ) return;
    // Loop through results.
    foreach( ResultElement result in results.resultElements ) {
      Console.WriteLine( );
      Console.WriteLine(result.title);
      Console.WriteLine(result.URL);
      Console.WriteLine(result.snippet);
      Console.WriteLine( );
    }
  }
}

Remember to insert your Google developer's key in place of insert key here, like so:

// Your Google API developer's key.
string googleKey = "12BuCK13mY5h0E/34KN0cK@ttH3Do0R
";
