That is an XML-RPC SOAP call to the Google API. Access to Google via this
API is sign-up only (free) and the GoogleKey is assigned by Google to
monitor requests (the beta program limits your daily request/return to some
number...I think fairly substantial...maybe 1000.
You can find more about the Google API at Google.
Also, I think you'll need the XML Tools 2.x for that to work. This is a
scripting addition. (You might also want XML-Library which is a script
library, best stored in the Scripts>Libraries folder, which eases calls to
the XML Tools. [All of that for OS9...I think OSX has some of that built
in. I use OS9, so I don't know...]
I believe that the url referencing used by XML Tools and the XML-Lib is
reliant on URL Access Scripting component being installed also (again, this
is true for me on OS9.)
You shouldn't use the GoogleKey that you have in this script, unless it's
yours.
Also, if you're just wanting to return Google results in normal HTML, then
you don't need all this. This is, again, just for XML-RPC/SOAP requests.
See LateNight Software if you want the XML Tools and the XML-Library.
