Use the URL commands to download the page, then you can treat the html that
is returned as text and parse in the normal way. For example:
put URL "http://www.xworlds.com/" into tVar
set the htmlText of fld 1 to tVar --remove html tags
ask "Search term?"
if it is in fld 1 then answer "text found"
else answer "text not found"
