Hello

I'm making a script in bash, that counts the occurrences of all the words it find on the web

in short what I do is make a dictionary with random words and then perform google searches, extract a random url from the search and use it to count the words.

The only problem is that this way it finds A LOT of wikipedia or dictionary pages and I wanted to know if there was a way to know how to specify the page of the google search in the google link

at the moment what i do is make a variable like this

search="www.google.com/search?q=$wordfromdictionary"

but this way it sends me only to the first page of the search and if I try to understand what's their algorithm to calculate the other pages, I can't figure out

I hope I was enough clear and you can help me

thanks

Just looking at how the link changes based on actually going to Google,

you'll want to add &start=$number, and $number has to be an increment of 10.

thanks a lot

You can also exclude pages by including something like this in the search term.

stuff im searching for -site:wikipedia.org
