Question

Im working with a developer in creating a iphone search bar in an applications that searches google when a user enters a query in my app.

I’ve been researching but haven’t been able to find a solid answer.

Is there any code that I can implement where I can make use of the autocomplete/ website suggestion feature that google uses.

An app called flex search (http://chomp.com/a/1JPX/flex-search-mobile-research-app-for-google-bing-wikipedia) enables the same feature and I’m looking to implent that in my own IOS application when users search google.

Thanks for all your help!!

You can retrieve the google suggestions in json format by sending a request to http://google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&client=chrome&q=SEARCHTERM
