difference in web search result from API and Web broswer #21

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Provide a keyword in web browser and the same keyword in API
2. Set the SafeLevel off in broswer and API and set language to English in 
both
3. Perform the search and you can see the result difference. May first 3-6 
result match but later not.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output according to me should be same, but instead I get 
different result. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using a latest version of google-api-for-dotnet which I checkout 
today from svn.

Additional information below:-
After debugging I notice that API is calling URL 
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search whereas broswer call 
http://www.google.com and I believe the both URL are fetching data from 
different search indexing location. 
Or I feel that I have to change some configuration to get the same results.

Is it possible for anyone to explaing the scenario?

The results from API and broswer are also attached in the file.

The goggle results in your browser will IP targeted, and personalized if you are
signed into your google account, this might explain the difference?

@jusmeig: Could you please elaborate on your point?

I have an application which does google search for some keywords and shows 
results in a formatted way. The marketing team looks at every day instead of 
going to google and searching for 10 keywords separately. Problem is my company 
is coming first in search results with API but 2nd with google browser search. 
Could anyone tell me why this might be happening? and how to fix it?
