    Do you know how this works or if there is a script available to do this? It is a cgi script which pulls the search result from craigslist, ebay, hemmings, ebizautos and some other sites.

    You can see it here:

    It connects to them, regexes the content and republishes it
    Look up CURL and regex and your half way there

    Does anybody have any thoughts on the legality of using content from large sites on your own page? I'm sure this violates the TOS and possibly robots.txt for these sites...
