In mrpeach, [httpreq] and [httpreceive] will output the contents of web pages as single characters. From there there are several ways of parsing the data. I find pdlua better for string operations but you have to learn lua or wait for someone to write the objects. It's possible to use moocow [bytes2any] and similar objects to parse limited amounts of text, the problem with huge amounts is that it all ends up as symbols in Pd's symbol table, which will eat memory and slow Pd down.

Hi

I was wondering if anyone has a way to grab search terms [strings] from
the web or other forms and bring it into pd as a message for an object.

Currently I have been experimenting with the fabulous Qweb and I would
like to apply search terms to certain objects from phones etc.. without
people necessarily having to have pd installed.

This is just an idea so forgive any repeated research
