I misunderstood you for a moment. I thought you meant to use that instead of scroogle.
Now that I know what you mean, yes, that looks like an ideal solution. The Scroogle people are moaning for no reason. It's not Google's job to provide them with the layout they prefer. How hard is it to scrape Google anyway? It's not Flash-based or anything. Jeez.
- jacquesm 16y agoScraping google for an extended period is in fact incredibly hard, but not because of the lay out. I'm fairly sure that someone on googles management has had to give scroogle a free pass on the scraping because at any serious usage level they'd normally have been blocked long ago. I'm guessing they have weighed the advantages of having scroogle out there versus the disadvantages of a bunch of bad press. They might even think it is good to have sites that are openly critical of google out there. Scroogle should count their blessings that it has lasted as long as it did, now they should get their act together and fix the bugs in their scraper.
