Description
This plugin finds mail addresses in google. Two configurable parameters exist:
- result_limit
- fast_search
If fast_search is set to False, this plugin searches google for : “@domain.com”, requests all search results and parses them in order to find new mail addresses. If the fast_search configuration parameter is set to True, only mail addresses that appear on the google result page are parsed and added to the list, the result links are’nt visited.

Options
| Name | Type | Default Value | Description | Help |
| result_limit | integer | 300 | Fetch the first “result_limit” results from the Google search | No detailed help available |
| fast_search | boolean | False | Do a fast search, when this feature is enabled, not all mail addresses are found | This method is faster, because it only searches for emails in the small page snippet that google shows to the user after performing a common search. |
