I've written a complete custom built gui search engine in C++, and I'm also in the process of building a new GUI search engine for ruby. In order to understand google's references, you have to look at their API.
http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators.html This will get you started. In terms of answering your question the search would be: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=my+author .. where search?hl=en (means english) .. where &as_q= (means start a query output) .. where &as_epq= (means find an author) .. where my+author (would be first+last name) It seems pretty simple but it's not. You should make sure that you enforce URI encoding standards when submitting your URLs. I hope this helps you to get started. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
