Overall objective would be to use a google search to find a list of phrases

containing search word(s) in a number of web pages. The list of phrases

Here's a basic sketchy sketch for the patch:

Use the google search external (Bill Orcutt) to find a list of urls

Store this list of urls in a coll or text file.

Use jit.uldl and jit.textfile to store the each url contents (or append)

*Use externals such as jasch detox and other string manipulation tools to

extract a "phrase" around the search words.

*How do-able is this using the available externals in Max/MSP/Jitter or

would the search and string manipulation be better suited to another

language like Perl? Javascript? Has someone achieved something similar to

this already - extracting a series of phrases - not images?

Its been a long time, but did you ever get a working patch of this? My friend is looking to do something similar.
