Network Programming in .NET

Ever since Google withdrew it’s search API, a way to automate search engine queries has fallen on Bing, and it’s obliged with the bing search API. You’ll need a Bing search API key before you can use this, but the process is automatic and free.

Unlike the old Google search API, the search result set is limited to 50 results per query, however, the query can be re-run with different offsets, and the result set concatenated.

A live demo of this can be seen at http://bing.freetextuk.com – Which returns a CSV of 300 results for any Bing query. The search box is pre-filled with a sample search to find link directories in spain (ending in .es).
