let's see, first a little script to grab the data:
var loadWiki = new XML();
loadWiki.onLoad = function(success){
trace(this);
}
loadWiki.load('
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=parsing&fulltext=fulltext&sourceid=mozilla-search'
);
The relevent part of the query:
<!-- querying /search/enwiki/parsing?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20 -->
<hr/><strong>Results 1-20 of 1928</strong><div style="text-align:
center;"><strong>1</strong> <a

...
and so on,
So you would look for the most significant pieces of this string, be
it the string 'Result' and grab every li tag there after to get the
search result. I'm pretty sure you could even throw it right into an
html text if you got the right tags. Just need to do some careful
string parsing.
And btw, I apologize, the google text editor is just no good =[
Hope this helps,
