Hello,
If I understand correctly, you're looking for the search term to be in
the result link's URL, correct?
If so, you can use this:
browser = Watir::IE.start('http://www.google.com')
browser.text_field(:name, 'q').set 'watir'
browser.button(:name, 'btnG').click
browser.links.each do |link|
if link.class_name == 'l'
if link.href =~ /watir/i
puts link.text
end
end
end
