Something I think should be pointed out, because 9/10 times that I hear some "expert" argue that there is no host crowding, and that if/when it happens is if filtering is enabled.

They are right. It only happens if filtering is enabled. This brings the logical question, what if filtering isn't enabled?

The fact is, the filtering is a default with Google, and you could probably fit everyone that goes thru the trouble of turning it off in a telephone booth.
I don't know why there's any question. They TELL you they have it on...

The <filter> parameter causes Google to filter out some of the results for a given search. This is done to enhance the user experience on Google.com, but for your application, you may prefer to turn filtering off in order to get the full set of search results.
...though users of the API have the option to turn it off.
