Caveat Kleptor

Please note that using the Google Scraper module (may) be a violation of Googles "Terms of Service", of which your humble author has been repeatedly reminded. The TOS is not as easy to locate as some of these correspondents have suggested (without a smile), but you can find the TOS at http://www.google.com/terms_of_service.html

Briefly, the relevant part is the "No Automated Querying" section. Its a kind of "do as I say, not as I do" dictum. Your author has tried to divine exactly what it means. On the surface its pretty clear, but if you follow the thread you will realize that it doesnt lead to a place any of us want to be. However, Google Incs desire is clear enough. They do not want to be *abused* for the exclusive benefit of someone else.

Scraper is not a tool well suited for this kind of abuse. It is designed to be generally configurable and, as such, it is not particularly efficient. It obeys the "robot.txt" rules published by the web-server. It would require some effort on a users part to cirumvent this feature. The Google.pm does not do a "meta-search" on Google. Even if your humble author removed Google.pm from the Scraper suite, it would be trivially easy for someone to build a Google module for Scraper (their format is very simple compared to others).

I believe that Google Inc. understands a little interloping (in moderation) is beneficial to all. I should note that Google Inc. has not notified your author of any concern on their part. This has been done by third parties who, for whatever reasons of their own, feel it necessary to interject themselves in others disputes, even when no such dispute exists.

Keep in mind that this is Googles livelihood. Should your use of Scraper be your hobby, or even part of your livelihood, remember it never helps to hit someone where they live. They will defend themselves to the death (even if that death is yours).
Scraper is a handy little tool for getting to stuff you cant get to otherwise. Lets keep it that way!

Kwiki::GoogleLink is a Perl module with easy links to Google searches.

SYNOPSIS

$ cpan Kwiki::GoogleLink
$ cd /path/to/kwiki
$ echo "Kwiki::GoogleLink" >> plugins
$ kwiki -update

This was written as a demonstration of a plugin to add a new WAFL phrase to the Kwiki formatting rules.

This plugin makes it quick and easy to add a Google search link to a Kwiki page, for example:

Search Google for: {google:Kwiki}

will be rendered as

Search Google for: < a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Kwiki">Kwiki< /a >

This example can be used as the basis for custom shortcuts at your own site.

WWW::Selenium is a Perl Client for the Selenium Remote Control test tool.

SYNOPSIS

use WWW::Selenium;

my $sel = WWW::Selenium->new( host => "localhost",
port => 4444,
browser => "*iexplore",
browser_url => "http://www.google.com",
);

$sel->start;
$sel->open("http://www.google.com");
$sel->type("q", "hello world");
$sel->click("btnG");
$sel->wait_for_page_to_load(5000);
print $sel->get_title;
$sel->stop;

Selenium Remote Control (SRC) is a test tool that allows you to write automated web application UI tests in any programming language against any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser. SRC provides a Selenium Server, which can automatically start/stop/control any supported browser. It works by using Selenium Core, a pure-HTML+JS library that performs automated tasks in JavaScript; the Selenium Server communicates directly with the browser using AJAX (XmlHttpRequest).

Apache2::Autocomplete is a Perl module to autocomplete service backend via mod_perl.

SYNOPSIS

Given some form that using Googles autocomplete that receives suggestions from http://localhost/complete/search:

######################################################
# in httpd.conf
PerlModule Apache2::MyAutoComplete
< Location /complete/search >
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler Apache2::MyAutoComplete
< /Location >
######################################################

######################################################
# module file Apache2/MyAutoComplete.pm
package Apache2::MyAutoComplete;
use base qw(Apache2::Autocomplete);
# use whatever else

my @NAMES = qw(bob carol ted alice);
sub expand {
my ($self, $query) = @_;
my $re = qr/^Q$queryE/i;
my @names = grep /$re/, @NAMES;
my @values = map {"some description"} @names;
(lc $query, @names, @values, [""]);
}

sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $ac = __PACKAGE__->new($r);
$ac->run();
return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
######################################################

This module is a mod_perl2 interface to JavaScript::Autocomplete::Backend, which is a base class for implementing an autocomplete service for a form using the Google Suggest protocol. See http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en for an illustration of Google Suggest in operation, as well as http://serversideguy.blogspot.com/2004/12/google-suggest-dissected.html for a description of how the JavaScript code works.

As well as mod_perl2, this package requires JavaScript::Autocomplete::Backend, as well as a CGI.pm-compatible CGI module for supplying the param() and header() methods. If available, CGI::Apache2::Wrapper will be used, which is a minimal module that uses methods of mod_perl2 and Apache2::Request to provide these methods; if this is not available, CGI (version 2.93 or greater) will be used.

Operation of this service requires inclusion of the Autocomplete JavaScript code; a copy of this is included in this distribution, the latest version of which is available at http://www.google.com/ac.js.
