A fun little toy written in PHP that will show you google suggest results for any given phrase.

googlesuggest.php

<?php
/*
A script to display the top ten Google suggestions for any given string
First version by Josh Lewis https://github.com/joshlewis
Original script at https://gist.github.com/joshlewis/7882722
*/

if ($argc > 1) {
    array_shift($argv);
} else {
    echo "Usage: php ".preg_replace('/'.preg_quote(dirname(__FILE__).'/', '/').'/', '', __FILE__)." \"your phrase goes here\"\n";
    exit;
}

$rawSearch = implode(' ',$argv);
$queryString = urlencode($rawSearch);

$finalUrl = 'http://google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&q='.$queryString;

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $finalUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$sugg = new SimpleXMLElement(curl_exec($ch));

echo "Google's suggestions for \"".$rawSearch."\":\n\n";

foreach ($sugg->CompleteSuggestion as $item) {
    //echo preg_replace('/'.$rawSearch.'/', '...', $item->suggestion['data'])."\n";     //Half-hearted attempt to remove the entered text
    echo $item->suggestion['data']."\n";      //Just show the raw suggestions unaltered
}

As of today, this is still working. 👍
