Sproogle hasn't been working, I don't know for how long. I just tried using it and it wouldn't return any results. I tracked down the problem, apparently Google stopped defining a font color for the text that shows how many search results there are. They just put color=. I know they are trying to squeeze out all the extra bytes they can, but I think they're going a little overboard.

Anyway, I modified my script to look for the exisitance of any color tag, not just a black color tag. I also fixed the code that looks for links to the other numbered search pages. Previously I was just making a list of the next 10 pages, but for searches with not many results, 10 pages is too much.

On a side note, damn it is really raining hard.
