More Google API Fun

I've heard about some more Google API-inspired programs. These are live examples which give you the option to use your own key. If you have your own key I encourage you to use it; keys can only be used for 1000 queries a day. By using your key you conserve their queries.

The first two programs require IE5+ or Mozilla/Netscape 6 because of the DHTML they use. They worked fine in Mozilla 1.0 RC1.

GAWSH -- Google Web Search by Host -- http://www.staggernation.com/gawsh/

Enter a query and this tool lists the Web hosts that contain results for that query. Click on the triangle by the host and get a list of results for that host.

GARBO -- Google API Relation Browsing Outliner -- http://www.staggernation.com/garbo/

Enter an URL and choose whether you want pages related to that URL or linked to that URL. Get a list of linked or related URLs. Click on the triangle by a URL to get a list of pages linked/related to *that* URL, and on and on and on and on.

GAPS -- Google API Proximity Search -- http://www.staggernation.com/cgi-bin/gaps.cgi

A proximity search. Find term A within 1, 2, or 3 words or term B. You can add additional terms to the query and sort your results by proximity, URL, title, or ranking.

All three of the above programs have the Perl source codes available. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to them because the browser returned a 403 Forbidden error. (rename the source code files from cgi to txt, maybe?)
