Hi.  Interesting stuff.

I've done a bit of Google hacking myself and I'd caution against
screen scraping for Google results.   Google can (and does -- Eric
Moritz, I'm looking at you. :-) blacklist IP addresses for screen
scraping.  There is a JavaScript API for Google search and a Google
SOAP api, which could all work for you, available from
code.google.com.

I've got a Python library wrapper around the SOAP api, written in
Python and released GPL.  It's at
http://www.devurandom.org/googledevel/gcli/.  There are others as
well.  Mark Pilgrim has one, too, I believe.  Google for "google
search api python" for more options, but the JavaScript API is very
nice, too, if you don't mind a client-side implementation.

Cheers,
deryck
