Solution The Google Search results are shown in the K-Search search results through two methods.

1) By using the Google SOAP API - As of December 5, 2006, they are no longer issuing new API keys for the SOAP Search API. Link : http://code.google.com/apis/soapsearch/ . Even though if you already have an API key with you, Google will continue their search SOAP API service.

2) Directly parsing the search results in the Google search pages - Parsing Google's search pages is against their terms and conditions. Anyway, some of the showcased sites still use this method to get Google results and not yet report any issues for violating their terms and condition.

K-Search is built with many search engine API's which will produce any desired number of search results , even in the unavailability of Google Search API.
