HTML:
<div id="resultStats">About 2,660,000,000 results<nobr>  (0.20 seconds) </nobr></div>

This is coming from the source of Google's home page (right under the search toolbar).

I essentially want to pull down the phrase "About 2,660,000,000 results".

Up to this point I have been using Excel's web query and recording it with a macro.

Any help would be appreciated...
 
No results because it errored out (error 91).
There was no results from the search?

As far as I know the code errored due to the reason I described - the element with that ID wasn't found.

Why there isn't is harder to explain without seeing the URL.
