No matter how clever you are, the stupidest (simple) solutions outperform the "smart" (complicated) ones.

(I paused reading at the "Automating the Search" section to leave this quick comment:)
Looks interesting with what's I'm sure many a clever data dump idea, but I lost some interest because the simplest, stupidest solution — splitting the search into "AIza-", "AIza0", "AIza1", "AIza2", ... "AIzaq" ... "AIzaZ" — was not mentioned.
If necessary two (or even three) steps deep, as in:
"AIza--" "AIza-0" "AIza-1" ... "AIza-Z"
"AIza0-" "AIza00" "AIza01" ... "AIza0Z"
...
"AIzaZ-" "AIzaZ0" "AIzaZ1" ... "AIzaZZ"
