I am trying to extract the number of hits for certain terms from the
Yahoo Search engine from a tool I have developed.
When I pass a verbatim stringliteral (C#) like the following;


query = "\"" + myQuery + "\"";
string requestUri = String.Format
("http://api.search.yahoo.com/WebSearchService/V1/webSearch?appid={0}
&query={1}", myYahooID, HttpUtility.UrlEncode(@query, Encoding.UTF8));

where the query is something like;

#include <file1.h>

I get 2147483648 hits.

When I enter "#include <file1.h>" at the Yahoo Search web page I get
1
hit (which is correct).

Hw can I force the websearchservive to accept the verbatim string
literal?
