google query

[Damo]

I'm trying to query google using the URL class and appending the query
to the end of the URL :
Its returning no results, Anyone know why: this is what it looks like

public String google(String query)
{
String inputLine=null;
try {
URL google = new URL("http://www.google.com/search?q="+query);
BufferedReader d = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(google.openStream()));



while ((inputLine = d.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(inputLine);
}
d.close();
} catch (MalformedURLException me) {
System.out.println("MalformedURLException: " + me);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("IOException: " + ioe);
}
return inputLine;
}

thanks

Google offers an API.

Its returning no results, Anyone know why: this is what it looks like ....
URL google = new URL("http://www.google.com/search?q="+query);

...refuses connection to referers that identify
themselves as Java.

Use the API.

You need to fool Google by pretending to be a legitimate browser.
