Question

How can we implement Mechanize for bing and yahoo search engine? For google implementation seems to be far simple

@agent = Mechanize.new
page = @agent.get('http://www.google.com')
google_form = page.form_with(:name => 'f')
google_form.q = query
page = @agent.submit(google_form) 

but I am not sure how to implement this for other two search engines

Answer 1

Yahoo:

@agent.get('http://www.yahoo.com/').forms[0].tap{|f| f.p = 'foo'}.submit

Bing:

@agent.get('http://www.bing.com/').forms[0].tap{|f| f.q = 'foo'}.submit
