I need a script to get serch results from Google/Yahoo

    I need a simple program that can run from my server/hosting and get results from Google/Yahoo based on my search query and output either to screen or a CSV (or any type of delimited file) format file that contains my results.

    So basically I input a search query: "Green Widgets" and the script outputs the results and seperates "POSITION", "TITLE", "DESCRIPTION", "URL"... you get the idea.

    I'd prefer it to have a simple web interface, just an input field really.

    I'd also prefer it to use an API instead of just scraping the results page as I can very easily make my own scraper script and I want this script to return ALL of the results, not just the first 1000 like Google returns from the website.

    If you think you can get the job done, PM me with a price/time estimate.

    Cheers,
    Pete.

    You'd be better off using a parser for google's search results page. Their SOAP API allows a max of 1000 queries a day and max upto 10 results per query. The new AJAX API allows unlimited queries a day but max 8 results per query.

    Yes, that way you can get 100 results per query

    I was really hoping there was a way to get say 100K results from Google... oh well, I'll have to be happy with 1000 results.

    If anyone else knows a way around the 1000 results limit, let me know.
