Dumb question, but somehow interesting. Is it just thr $_GET-limit or do they have so开发者_Python百科me other techniques ?

For the Google Search API:

There is a limit of 320 characters returned for each meta tag when using getfields.

Usage

GET /search?q=[search term]&output=xml&client=test&site=test&getfields=[meta tag name]

2048 is the right answer

<input autocomplete="off" class="lst" type="text" name="q" maxlength="2048" value="" title="Search" spellcheck="false">
