In a recent Google update, the ability to access search result pages without enabling JavaScript was disabled. (See #51 for more details.)
Using resources such as this Hacker News thread, I implemented a workaround that bypasses the JavaScript requirement by utilizing an alternate page version served to specific user agents.
However, this alternate page lacks certain features available on the standard page, resulting in the removal of some properties. Please refer to the changelog for a detailed list of changes.
Closes #51
