Thumbs up How can my page search a remote site?

I am wondering if there is any way to add a search field to a webpage, that goes out and searches another site. Some examples of this might be:

A google search box, on my page, that searches google, returns the results to my web service, which processes the results and diplays them on my site, in my format.

Or... An amazon search box, on my page, that searches amazon, returns the results to my web service, which processes the results and diplays them on my site, in my format.

I can handle the format part. I just need to know if there is a way to do the first part. I am comfortable using HTML, Java, and C#.

Thanks much for your help.

If you can use C#, all you have to do is build an asp.net page with a seach box, let the user enter the search string and then you make a httpwebrequest from asp.net to ie. Google and wait for the return.

Then you have to pull the resulting HTML apart to reformat it for your own use, or if you can find some search engine that returns the search result as XML, you can format it using XSL.

regards,
Steen
