Run a local search Google docs: code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/reference.html#_fonje_local For example: rsz This optional argument supplies the number of results that the application would like to recieve. A value of small 

indicates a small result set size or 4 results. A value of large indicates a large result set or 8 results. 
If this argument is not supplied, a value of small is assumed.

Valid values include:

* blended - request KML, Local Business Listings, and Geocode results
