I've used this formula in Google Spreadsheets in the past to input the number of search results into a cell. The formula's not working anymore and I know I need to fix the xpath query.

any ideas?

Current formula:

=importXML("http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q="&A2,"//p[@id='resultStats']/b[3]")

Spreadsheet for public testing:
