Get all the top google search results | google ajax api

We will be using the google ajax api in this script. As you might have found, by default it gives out only 4 results. Or you may manage to get 8 with one more parameter. But here, with some tweaks, you will get the top 64 results! (And 64 is the upper limit, because google doesn’t like bots.)
