Web scraper using search function

Completed Posted 5 years ago Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

I'm looking to get text off of a public website that has a built in search function and displays 5-10 results per page. I'd like the code to read a CSV/XLSX document with the various keywords entered in row 1, search for it on site, and then return the results containing the keyword and 50 characters on each side of the keyword populating the column, with one result per cell. Would like to:

* Run this as needed from my PC

* Change the sub-page URL it will visit to access the search box (still the same site with the same search functionality once on the sub-page)

* Have it recognize the date in the search result and only go back 365 days

* Have it go from one results page to the next (there are standard Previous/Next links on the results page)

* Update the character limit and days it looks back as needed without needing to go back to the developer. I can edit it in the code if pointed out where those fields are.
