I hate to be contrary, but isn't it more likely that it is filtering
out requests for php based not on a tool limited to the Google API
which cuts you off after 1000 searches, but rather based on queries
that are utilized by worms?
SiteDigger 2.0 has been out a while now, and it's not effective enough
a tool to be utilized by script kiddies as a mass penetration device
since the queries are used in context of a specific site. You won't
find any results with an automated google hacking maching that you
wouldn't by typing site:somesite.com anyway. Besides, with the GHDB
now topping out at over 1,000 entries you can't do a complete scan.
Google hacking isn't dead, it's just evolving.
