Google is one of the best ways to find information on the Internet. This unique search engine combines simplicity and flexibility, with an elegant array of search features. You probably know that using Google to search for the information you need saves considerable time. Unfortunately, for everything Google has to offer, you still end up performing the search manually. You can still spend more time than you really have to research a topic just looking for the information. Reading and using the information seems impossible, in some cases, because the time just doesn’t exist to do it. Even with Google, you’re still not in full control over the Internet information store.
Fortunately, Google has a great answer to this problem in the form of Google Web Services. I wrote this book because I know from personal experience that spending 5 minutes to perform a search is better than spending a whole day. I do anything I can do to make the search process easier and more automatic. The examples in this book help you understand how to accomplish research in minutes, rather than days. With the right application, you can spend more time reading the information you find, which means you’ll have an edge over everyone else who has to research the same material manually.
It wasn’t until I had spent some time working with Google Web Services that I began to understand how truly flexible it is and what you can accomplish with it. For example, you can build an impressive search engine for a Web site using Google as the source of information. I’ll show you how to construct site searches that makes Google into your personal site-specific search engine. Combine this functionality with a database and you can gain access to instant information about a particularly useful Web site.
