dear friends,
I want to write a C# windows application called web result search, what this program do is that I add a string to it and it goes to different web search engines such as Google and yahoo and it shows the number of search results in each search engine, so what I need is from where do I start how can I let my windows application goes to these different web pages and post my request then copy the number of the results in that page then give the result in my application??

Try checking with the various search engines that you want to use for availability of an API for their search. For example, Google exposes an API for their search functionalities ([link]http://www.google.com/apis/[/link]). I am sure such API's will have something like "GetResultCount" field.

HTH
