Richtextbox1 To Parse Data

[EDN Admin]

Im trying to create a quick little program in VB 2008 that can parse extract the google search results based on the search criteria of the user input.

Basically what I have is a textbox1.text that enters the keywords into google, google will then put the url results back into my richtextbox1.text.

Here is the code that I have:


<div style="color:Black;background-color:White; <pre>
<span style="color:Blue; Private <span style="color:Blue; Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(<span style="color:Blue; ByVal sender <span style="color:Blue; As System.Object, <span style="color:Blue; ByVal e <span style="color:Blue; As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) <span style="color:Blue; Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
<span style="color:Blue; Me.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.AbsoluteUri

<span style="color:Blue; If WebBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerHtml.Contains(<span style="color:#A31515; "http://www.google.com/search?q=") <span style="color:Blue; Then
<span style="color:Blue; Dim htmlele <span style="color:Blue; As HtmlElementCollection
htmlele = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName(<span style="color:#A31515; "h3")
<span style="color:Blue; For <span style="color:Blue; Each htm <span style="color:Blue; As HtmlElement <span style="color:Blue; In htmlele
<span style="color:Blue; Dim chld <span style="color:Blue; As HtmlElementCollection = htm.GetElementsByTagName(<span style="color:#A31515; "a")
<span style="color:Blue; For <span style="color:Blue; Each ch <span style="color:Blue; As HtmlElement <span style="color:Blue; In chld
RichTextBox1.AppendText(ch.GetAttribute(<span style="color:#A31515; "href") & vbCrLf)
<span style="color:Blue; Next
<span style="color:Blue; Next
<span style="color:Blue; End <span style="color:Blue; If
<span style="color:Blue; End <span style="color:Blue; Sub
[/code]

The issue with this code is that it will scrape the google search engine results, but it also brings back links like this:

I do not want the links/urls that contain:
<pre>http://www.google.com/search?q=hip+hop+drums+%22Post+a+reply%22+OR+%22post+a+comment%22++OR+-comments+closed+inurl:forum&hl=en&prmd=imvnsfd&tbm=dsc&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=LrSLTtrXLMigtweQnYSKCA&ved=0CCMQmAcwAA[/code]

I rather only have the links that look like this to enter into Richtextbox1.text:

[/code]

All the links/URLs will be extracted from the google SERPS and sent to Richtextbox1.text after button1 is clicked.


Any help would be appreciated.
