Restrict search to a country #24

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Ability to point the search results to a specific country, but not in a way
that restricts all results to that country.  E.G searching google.co.uk

Agreed.  It seems like this is an obvious feature that should have been 
implemented
from the beginning.

This will be an absolutely useful feature and will be a complete replacement of 
the
old API.

When will it finally be possible to restrict to countries???

Right now the API is useless for everyone not living in the US. I don't 
understand
how such an important feature can still be missing... It's like building a car
without the engine!

What the hell google

Google search API is useless without this in any country but the US...

Makes the whole API a bit of a pointless joke really.

I would like to implement a news bar that prints Belgian news in the Dutch 
language
populated by sources that news.google.be uses. Although I managed to change the
language to Dutch by using &hl=nl in the api include, this typically draws from 
Dutch
news sources instead of Belgian ones.

Also it would be great to draw from a topic instead of using a keyword in the
executelist, e.g. news.google.be displays sports using &topic=s - is there an
equivalent for the news bar so that it draws from articles
in a google news topic?

Please add this feature ASAP - the API is pretty much useless to me as a UK 
based
company if the only results being shown are targeted to the US!

Re: jeroenv3's desire to find Belgian news in the Dutch language

If you're willing to tweak the gsnewsbar code, you can accomplish this.  All 
you have
to do is find the block where the NewsSearch object is initialized and use the
setRestriction method to add a geo restriction.  It's documented in the Class 
Reference.

Important feature. Narrowing the search to a specific region. Looking forward 
to it.

Please add it. Required for .co.uk data - as currently data is .com. Google are 
given credit for data from API and it looks like Google don't know what they 
are 
doing, from an end user point of view!

I think.. the priority for this changes is "HI"... a lot of projects out of US 
need
this. I search a -pach- solutions but... i couldn't ...

Which time for published this change, is possible now the date?

I fixed it the following ways:
When using a news bar with the wizard, load the search api thusly:
http://www.google.com/uds/api?file=uds.js&v=1.0&source=uds-nbw&hl=nl&ned=be
hl=nl is the language (nl being netherlands, dutch), ned=be is the news edition 
(be=belgian), so 
http://www.google.com/uds/api?file=uds.js&v=1.0&source=uds-nbw&hl=fr&ned=be
would call up French language news in Belgium
http://www.google.com/uds/api?file=uds.js&v=1.0&source=uds-nbw&hl=de&ned=de
would be German news search

For the regular search api you can use the language variable in the load 
function: 
      google.load('search', '1.0', {"language" : "nl_BE"});  

Use the ISO639 language code.

This should get you going in almost all cases.

This feature would be very-very important. My clients do not understand why 
regular
google.hu SERP and Search API results are so different. 

I tried to set gl and hl parameters explicitly but did not affect. Then I 
created a
CSE with the appropriate local parameter and added its id via the cx parameter, 
but
it also did not work. I am very sad.

MSN Live and Yahoo search APIs are able to handle local parameters correctly. 
Why
Google Search API do not support local searches?

Otherwise your Search API is great.

Actually, the ability to specify a localized version of Google (e.g., 
google.co.uk)
was introduced a few of weeks ago. Check out the blog announcement:

http://googleajaxsearchapi.blogspot.com/2009/10/web-search-in-your-country.html

Also note that this bug has been marked a dup of bug 78, which has been deemed 
fixed
by this introduction.

Essential feature - for any location in the world! What use knowing that 
someone the other side of the globe has a commodity that you need tomorrow?
It used to be there. "Enhancement" has removed it.
I hate all that "quantum vibration crystal" semi-religious junk we get from the 
USA.
I'll see if the other search engines do better, and report back if I can make a 
recommendation.
