I am running a php test script that does the following
------------------------------------
$url = "http://api.search.yahoo.com/WebSearchService/V1/webSear
ch";
$query = "linkdomain:firminternet.com";
$offset = 0;
$count = 10;
$q = '?query=' . rawurlencode($query);
$q.= "&start=$offset";
$q.= "&results=$count";
$q .= "&appid=$api_key";
$xml = file_get_contents($url . $q);
$p = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($p, $xml, $results);
xml_parser_free($p);
echo $results[0]['attributes']
['TOTALRESULTSAVAILABLE'];'TOTALRESULTSAVAILABLE'];
--------------------------------------
When I refresh this page I see inconsistent results, usually
172 but
sometimes 234. I also notice that making the same search
through
the web at search.yahoo.com it says "Results 1 - 10 of
about 177
from firminternet.com"
I thought I had read in other posts that the API and web
searches
reported number of results would match, though maybe this is
not the
case. Also I was curious about the inconsistent results.
Thanks,
Jared
