WebSearch

Query the web on Google.

Table Specific Information

When querying this table the SearchTerms parameter must be specified. For example, to search in WebSearch for the term 'technology' use the following query:

SELECT * FROM WebSearch WHERE SearchTerms = 'technology'

To filter out certain queries and include other queries, use a mix of operators on the SearchTerms field:

SELECT * FROM WebSearch WHERE SearchTerms = 'search1' AND SearchTerms != 'search2' AND SearchTerms > 'x' AND SearchTerms < 'y' or SearchTerms = 'or this'

To include a site in the search, execute a query like the following:

SELECT * FROM WebSearch WHERE SearchTerms = 'technology' AND Site = 'https://news.google.com/'

Likewise, to exclude a site in the search, execute a query like the following:

SELECT * FROM WebSearch WHERE SearchTerms = 'technology' AND Site != 'https://news.google.com/'

Google search has an aggregate function called TotalResults() that is similar like Count(*).

TotalResults() can be used if you want to get the number of result based on your query.

The Google Search API limits the number of item returned to 100 so count(*) will not be the actual number of search results.

SELECT TotalResults() FROM WebSearch WHERE SearchTerms='ancient artifact'
