Issue 60: Feature Request - Provide Google Desktop Results in JSON format

Modify the HTTP/XML-Based Query API 
(https://code.google.com/apis/desktop/docs/queryapi.html#httpxml)to have an 
option of "&format=json" instead of just "&format=xml"

This would allow web-based applications to make calls to the Google 
desktop search and parse the results with JSON.  Browser security does not 
currently allow XMLHTTP Requests to receive and parse XML results cross 
domain. (outside of 127.0.0.1).

Or alternatively - modify the Google AJAX Search API to have a desktop 
component (https://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/) instead of just web, 
local, and blog.
