I have an NS Window with a WebView.
My program takes in a search query and executes a Google search with it, the results being displayed in the WebView, like a browser.
Instead of displaying the search results in the WebView, I’d like to automatically open the first link and display the contents of that result instead.
As a better example, how do I display the contents of the first result of Google in a WebView?
Is this even possible?
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You could use the direct Google Search API. That would be more convinient.

Also you could also try to make a google request like the “I’m feeling lucky” button, which will direct you automatically to the first search result.
If you have to parse the HTML, you need to have a look at the HTML structure of the google result page. Look for specific
idandclasscss properties in thedivandatags. If you found the ones, where the actual results are you can start parsing that content. Also i guess it would be easier to put some javascript together, that will find the first result and open it. (More easier than parsing the HTML using obj-c). You can evaluate javascript in the webview using[myWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: @"put your js code here"].
