googling tips?

[John Heim]

Another tip:

You can put a google search form on your own homepage so you don't have to 
tab through to the search field on google's homepage each time you want to 
do a search.  For example see my homepage:

http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/

When I want to do a search, I hit the hotkey for returning to my homepage 
and since the search form is the first thing on the page, I'm already in 
the search field. Type in a search term, press enter, done.

Next thing I'm going to do is write a screen scraper program to connect to 
the google server, get search results, parse the results page, and display 
just the results. I'm going to get rid of all that dreck google has added 
over the years.
