Hello... I have a great idea for a desktop application but know next to nothing about programming. Before I go outsourcing the work, I just need to know if this is possible... Is it possible to perform a search on a topic via Google's search API and return *only* results where the search string is at the beginning of a sentence? For example, if my search string is "computers are great", then I would only want results where "computer" was the first word in the sentence. In other words, I would *not* want a result like "the reason that computers are great..." I know this is not possible using regular Google search (at least to my knowledge), but hopefully it's possible using Google's API, as I have a great idea for a software application if it is. Thanks!
Google probably can do what your asking for. But Google's SOAP API (I assume not google's AJAX API coz ur doing it for your own application) is not that flexible coz it is similar to XML feed whereby they only provide you with a service which is web search results from google. You cannot change the content provided to you and the API is limited to 1,000 queries per day for non commercial use only.
