I would go to the site, and look at the query string, and then chop that up....
for example,
lets pretend altavista was




http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/search?=vb&page=1

you would do


MyStr = Inet1.OpenURL("www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/search?=" & SearchString & "&page=" & PageNum)


then use a sorting algorithm to extract all the links, and filter out the goood(results), and the bad(the ones that are normally on the page)
