I am new to Watir and Ruby and have ben trying to esablish a reliable way of extracting the search result from a google search. I can't seem to distinguish between Google's sponsored links and other search results I want to be be able to search for pat of a url to see if it appears in he googles search result on a page but not in the sponsored links I thought about trying to use class along with url in browser.link because I notice google has a class of 'l' for normal listings but this doesn't work. I will incorporate it into a while loop to search the first few pages. I will be grateful if anyone knows the way to solve this or at least a pointer.Iseem to be able to indentify spored links if the search term appears in them.
The following fails to detect anything withing the listed (non- sponsored) results # Attempt to select the non sponsored link by selecting class l (fails), and url attribute url_existing = (browser.link(:url, /[searchterm]/).exists?) .... (within a loop) if url_existing == true # If URL is found -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.
