Using Internet Component Suite or something like
that, you can formulate your own http string and
send it to the site, then get the result back and parse it for the results.
But unless the site is set up to return something
easy for a program to examine (such as XML),
you're likely to get back HTML which has the
results intermixed with all sorts of other stuff,
and will need to parse it to extract the
results. This may not be an easy task if the
result is just a string of text; it's easier if
there are HTML tags around the results. Also, if
there are a lot of results and the site splits
them onto pages, you'll have to parse the "Next"
button (or however they do it) and send that back for the next page.
And when the provider makes some changes to their
web page, you have to modify your program to parse the new format.
IOW it's doable but will take some research and analysis to get it right.

Hello!
Is it possible to send name to a search page for
telephonenumber on the internet, and get the
answer back in the program?? Ex. if you made a
program to send "Lerberg" to www.gulesider.no,
and then receive all the answer back in the program afterwards.
TIA
Kåre!
