Parsing Google's search results

dlhurwitz · Nov 22, 2008

I would like to create a simple Javascript page which has a single
searchbox. After the user enters a search in the form, it should
transfer the search to Google and return the search results (the
entire page) into a string.

Then I want to parse the string and extract just the links, and
redisplay them in a simple list on my page. How can I do this keeping
the Google result page hidden, yet parsing in run-time and displaying
the URLs immediately on my own page?

Appreciatively,
~Daniel

Spielerei though. Conrad's suggestion is better.
