Carlo,

You should look into using the Google API, which Google has provided for
software and web developers to use.  I believe their current API license is
FREE, but it may be limited to non-commercial applications.  But you should
investigate the details for yourself to see if it suits your needs:

http://code.google.com/apis.html

As you can see, there is a lot of great stuff that you can tap into using
REALbasic's built-in XML and SOAP classes.  Google's Search API would allow
you to retrieve search results the authorized way without having to code
your own hacks to "scrape" their web pages.

Hope that helps...
