save google seach resoults in a file ?

is there any way to save google search resoults in a file ?

 

Yes in php that is possible.
PHP+CURL is what you need.

 

please explain.. for saving results, you can save the html page using ctrl+s .. is that what you need?
If you need a scripting approach, then use php's curl functions

 

request the search via a server side program or script-- parse it saving the data you want and and send it as an email file. PHP, Java, JSP can all handle these types of requests. You can also write it as a temporay cache html file.

Q...

 

If I remember correctly I was writing a script that would harvest search results from Google. The only problem is not to look like a bot so Google wouldn't ban your IP. I was querying for each next page after no less then a few seconds.

 

If IE6 use Save As... for html file.

 

I think google returns the search results on JSON format, which is pretty easy to parse and store in whatever database or flatfile you want.

there is also this:

Keeping a Search Result

The samples so far have focused on embedding search results on your page for display only, without the capability to store those results to another application. While this is a perfectly appropriate use of the Google AJAX Search API, it does not demonstrate its true potential. The Google AJAX Search API is designed to allow users to distribute search results to others, primarily through content creation applications like blog posts, message boards, etc.

The google.search.SearchControl object provides this functionality through its setOnKeepCallback() method. Using this method, applications specify an object and method that is called whenever a user indicates the wish to save a search result by clicking the "Copy" link below the result.

This link is only provided if applications have called setOnKeepCallback() method. When a user clicks the link, the registered callback receives a GResult instance representing the search result. This search results object contains a number of searcher specific properties, as well as a uniform html property that contains an HTML element representing the entire search result. The simplest way to handle the callback is to clone the html node and attach it to a node in your application's DOM.

If you know php, you can write a script to accomplish it.
