=head1 SYNOPSIS
use WebService::Google::Suggest;
my $suggest = WebService::Google::Suggest->new();
my @suggestions = $suggest->complete("goog");
for my $suggestion (@suggestions) {
print "[" . $suggestion->{rank} . "] "
. $suggestion->{query} . ":"
. $suggestion->{results} results . "\n";
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
WebService::Google::Suggest allows you to use Google Suggest as a Web Service API to retrieve completions to your search query or partial query. This module is based on Adam Stiles' hack (http://www.adamstiles.com/adam/2004/12/hacking_google_.html).
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item new
$suggest = WebService::Google::Suggest->new();
Creates new WebService::Google::Suggest object.
=item complete
@suggestions = $suggest->complete($query);
Sends your C<$query> to Google web server and fetches suggestions for
the query. Suggestions are in a list of hashrefs, for example with
query "Google":
@suggestions = (
{ query => "google", results => 0, rank => 0 },
{ query => "google toolbar", results => 0, rank => 1 },
...
);
Note that C<results> value does NOT contain commas and "results" text.
=item ua
$ua = $suggest->ua;
Returns underlying LWP::UserAgent object. It allows you to change
User-Agent (Windows IE by default), timeout seconds and various
properties.
