Answer 1

Completed using Bing instead of Google and with the following code:

string baseURL = "http://api.search.live.net/xml.aspx?Appid=<MyAppID>&query=%22" + name + "%22&sources=web";
WebClient c = new WebClient();
c.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(baseURL));
c.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(findTotalResults);

and this calls findTotalResults:

void findTotalResults(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    lock (this)
    {
        string s = e.Result;
        XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new MemoryStream(System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(s)));
        while (reader.Read())
        {
            if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
            {
                if (reader.Name.Equals("web:Total"))
                {
                    gResults = reader.ReadInnerXml();
                }

            }
        }
    }
}
