// 20 webpages in the response
//
// - [mkt=en-US] This sets the market where the results come from.

// include Webpage results. This tag can take a comma seperated
// list of response types that you are looking for. If left
// blank, all responses (webPages, News, Videos, etc) are
// returned.

// - [setLang=en] This sets the languge for user interface strings.
// To learn more about UI strings, check the Web Search API
// reference.
