Additional options

googlesearch supports a few additional options. By default, googlesearch returns 10 results. This can be changed. To get a 100 results on Google for example, run the following program.

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", num_results=100)

In addition, you can change the language google searches in. For example, to get results in French run the following program:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", lang="fr")

To extract more information, such as the description or the result URL, use an advanced search:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", advanced=True)
# Returns a list of SearchResult
# Properties:
# - title
# - url
# - description

If requesting more than 100 results, googlesearch will send multiple requests to go through the pages. To increase the time between these requests, use sleep_interval:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", sleep_interval=5, num_results=200)
