    Great tools!

    For yahoo i hacked the provided PHP script as follows:

    $data = get_page ('api.search.yahoo.com',
    '/WebSearchService/V1/webSearch?appid=keywordtracker&query=' . urlencode ($_REQUEST['q']) . '&start=' .
    $start . '&results=50&country=au');

    i.e. add &country=au
    to give results for search in Australia.

    For MSN, hack the script as follows for Australia:

    $data = get_page ('search.ninemsn.com.au',
    '/results.aspx?q=' . urlencode ($_REQUEST['q']) .
    '&first=' . $start . '&count=10&format=rss');

    i.e. use ninemsn.com.au for australian search results

    That's extremely useful, but isn't the country choice already included in the basic data set you have to provide as soon as you open your KW tracker account at this website?

    I tried new keywords.

    First, with no country restriction and standard php code.

    Then with country restriction and standard php code - same results.

    Then with modified php code - 'improved' results reflecting country restriction
    for both yahoo and msn.
