Searching Google vith SOAP4R

Hi.

Does anybody use SOAP4R to access Google search service?

I do not want to dive too deep into SOAP peculiarities. So I just tried to
make Pickaxe examples to work. I am getting:
: No Deserializer found to deserialize a ':restrict' using encoding style
'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'. (SOAP::FaultError)

I installed the newest SOAP4R version but Google samples included in the
distribution crashed on various errors too.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks. Your code works although only with the version 1.5.4. The 1.5.3
packaged to Ruby 1.8.2 fails.
