Sorry if that's a shitty name for this thread but that's the best thing i could come up with.

Does anyone know how it would be possible to make applescript do a google search, and then open up the first result that is from a site froma given list?

ex. site_list = {lyricsfreaks, Purelyrics...}
Google "Hey Joe Jimi Hendrix lyrics"

and make applescript open the first URL that contains one of those keywords?

It seems like this should be feasible to me, but I'd love some help to speed the process along.

Thanks a lot.

Only way I know:

In Google search for:

text site:http://www.lyricsfreak.com

Given List I dunno

I'm thinking that i could make applescript curl the google search, and find "lyricsfreak" and then take that everything from "http - html" and then curl that URL. but then there's problems such as:

How do you make applescript search for several things at once and find the first. (Could search for them in steps with If statements, but it might be slow.)

Those sites would have to be on the first results page... etc.

Just to tell you, iTunes Expanded has a lyrics feature, but uses a shell script instead

If I'm reading right, you're talking basically about applescripting the function of Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. Instead, just use this URL: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=& ... ling+Lucky

I checked it out, but it grabs the lyrics from the ID3 tag.
