Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve text/sentences based on keyword searches, on the web.

Does any know if there are any libraries (like proHTML or Yahoo! search) that allow you to do this?

For instance, I'm trying to retrieve lyrics from http://www.lyricfind.com/services/lyrics-search/

and want to make a search in their database, and retrieve the first hit.

Example,

I'd like to search on lyricFind "Tomorrow" "Lies" "Peace", and the first hit I get is:

When all is you then all is good / I reach for tomorrow / While your secrets wander into lies / And all your grace is falling out of sight

Any ideas if there is a library for something like this???

Many thankyous in advance!

Out of the box, you have loadString().
There are also some libraries easing the task, like Jsoup, mentioned a few times on the forums.
