I need a program that will take a list in Excel 2003 of searches I want to make, and, for each, record the number of google hits that that search returns. The list will contain up to 500 searches. It is not necessary to display any of the result lists, or web pages, I just need the number of hits.
The program should be written in VB. Net, and work with Excel 2003, through a dial-up AOL connection in the United States to the Internet and also my wireless connection in the United States.
It should be written to conform to Google's terms of service, and therefore, to Google's API.
Needs to Work with Excel 2003, and Windows XP.
