Polling Search Engines

[Stephen Barncard]

If your app is really that useful, why don't you make the API ID 
customizable so the user can obtain his/her own id?? Perhaps 
streamline or explain the application process for the user. Google 
happy, you happy, client happy.

This will defer any harm to you. And it might be hard for one person 
to use 1000/queries/day.
