    Default search bot

    is it possible to make a php script or bot or cron job that searches say hockey on google or w.e and copys the 3 feilds (name,description,url) and then inserts it into a mysql database?
    or something like that so i dont have to manually add sites to my search engine.

    If your going to do that you may aswell just when someone searches something it adds 100 google results to your database. Could be done.

    This is one way of doing it, get google contents using file_get_contents on file http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=*search here* then using eregi to get the urls, descriptions, titles and so on. Just have a play.

    cant edit sry i searched google and sort off under stand what eregi does so i include say http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=colin then i tryed to insert the feilds (new feild being separted by a space but it didnt work) using part of nets hang man script but it didnt work atall, so im back to file_get_contents and echoing it if i could just figure out how to seperate the feilds then i could write the mysql part.

    Kinda a compleate waste of time, Go to the Google Dev Site and get a Developers key, then u can use the Search API to get the data direrectly for use for what ever you want. Far easyer o.0
