How do I view the HTML from a Google search result?

I am quite certain that SOMEONE has done this befroe.

I built a process to input some search terms into Google. It finds th epages, but I cannot seemt o be able to "view" the results from the search page that is returned.

The return is obviously something other than HTML (javascript maybe?) and I have no idea how to read it/parse it into my database.

All I get back is something like this....

If you're logged in, it does

If you're logged in, it does return JavaScript. You may need to turn off HTML Tidy since they do some strange things with their code.

If that doesn't work, I may need to examine your scraping session.

Thanks

Jason -

I appreciate the quick reply.

I have a catch 22 of sorts here. All I can really do at this point is the init script.

Can I send to you what I am trying to to?

Thanks.
