In an attempt to avoid anything I'm actually suppose to be doing right now, I fixed the source for the Google VS Live application.  As expected, Google tweaked their return call which broke the JSON serialization.  I hopefully made it a tad more hardened now.

Source: c#
Demo: http://peacelovecode.com/search

Updated Source from my GoogleSearch.cs class:

// code based off http://blog.yuvisense.net/2006/12/30/calling-google-ajax-search-api-from-c/
// JSON code from http://www.codeplex.com/Json
public static GoogleSearchResults Search(string apiKey, string query, bool largeQuery)
{
    WebRequest wrq = WebRequest.Create(string.Format("http://www.google.com/uds/GwebSearch?" +
                         "callback=GwebSearch.RawCompletion" +
                         "&context=0&lstkp=0&rsz={2}&hl=en&" +
                         "sig=8656f49c146c5220e273d16b4b6978b2&" +
                         "q={0}&key={1}&v=1.0", query, apiKey, largeQuery ? "large" : "small"));

    WebResponse wrs = wrq.GetResponse();
    StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(wrs.GetResponseStream());
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    while (!sr.EndOfStream)
        sb.Append(sr.ReadLine());

    int removeIndex = sb.ToString().IndexOf("}]");
    sb.Remove(removeIndex, sb.Length - removeIndex);
    sb.Append("}]}"); // need to keep the JSON struct intact

    string result = Regex.Replace(sb.ToString(), "GwebSearch.RawCompletion\\('\\d+',", string.Empty);
    result = HackUtf8ToUnicode(result);
    
    return JavaScriptConvert.DeserializeObject<GoogleSearchResults>(result);
}

private static string HackUtf8ToUnicode(string utf8)
{
    utf8 = Regex.Replace(utf8, "\\\\u003C", "<", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
    utf8 = Regex.Replace(utf8, "\\\\u003E", ">", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
    return Regex.Replace(utf8, "\\\\u0026", "&", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
}
