(I'm new to Webmaster, so forgive me if this is not the right forum to post this question.)

I want to automatically submit a series of queries to a public search engine on the Internet and then capture the results to a log file. Each query consists of a 5-digit code and the result would be the name of the company that the code represents. Since there would typically be about 100 codes, this seems a much better way than sitting there and entering them one at a time. Is this possible, and if so how would I get started? Thanks for any help.

It is very possible with many different languages. However, the catch 22 is it will not be easy to code unless you only want to submit to one search engine. When you start dealing with multiple engines then you have to code a different handler for each one, etc. Just a pain but very possible.

If you need help with something of this nature and need it done quick I could write up something like this in a day for a very minimal charge. PM me if your interested.
