Hi Frank, yes the API is not for the full search results. I have plans to overhaul that page and make it all more clear.
The API is just for the 0-click info, e.g. essentially answering the question what is X. The reason why it doesn't involve the whole search results is that I syndicate a lot of APIs and I'm not allowed to put them into an API.

yegg13, currently your API does not ouput valid XML, because the '&' char is not escaped in some URLs.
If you try to open this url with firefox, you will get a "XML Parsing Error: not well-formed" because of that.

Thx--fixed! Note there is a json output as well if you change x to json.
