Not all search engines expose web services for you to do that. I think
you could do like the "search box" fo Firefox: send a query to the
search site and parse the returned HTML. The following link may help:

Hi,

As it was said before, there is not a 100% reliable way to parse the result
of the search engine page, you can have some success but t's enough that
that the engine change its format and your parsing is useless.
IMO just use google , they provide an API

no idea if MS does provide an API too


cheers,
