(READ THIS FIRST) - Correct Way to get Google Search Results #63

Description

@knoxcard

The proper way to get Google results is to use an API key. With this module, you'll quickly run into the Google captcha issue (Google will detect an unusual amount of traffic from an IP), without using an API key.

You want to query Google directly using an API key...
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=<YOUR_GOOGLE_SEARCH_API_KEY>&q=Node JS

Get your Google Search API Key here: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/overview

This is wayyyy faster too, you get raw JSON results directly from their server in one HTTP call. No time wasted on parsing HTML and if Google changes their HTML structure you are not dead in the water. Also, one less NPM repo in your codebase, better security.
