Due solely to Google throwing up the error:

We’re sorry…

… but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.

We’ll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon.

Well, we’re not a virus or spyware but we are an automated process and Google now has protective measures in place to thwart automation.

The solution is to use Google’s API to get added functionality, increase speed, and properly query Google for the application we allow our customers to use.

So, now, we have deployed the new API integration for both Yahoo and Google. Microsoft does not have an API for their search engine that we know of. More to follow on that.

UPDATE:  Article Checker API is now installed!

Yes, it’s still free.
