                                .find('.bread_crump ~ b')
                                .before('</span>')
                                .parents('.main_result').html();

Answer 1

var txt = $('.main_result')
          .contents() // get it's contents
          .filter(function() { //filter the result for textnodes that aren't empty (helps ie's parsing of textnodes)
             if( this.nodeType == 3 && $.trim(this.data) != "") { //get only text nodes and filter out whitespace elements
                 return true;
             }
             return false;
          }).get(1).data; // get 1 because it's your 2nd non-whitespace text node

var txt = $.trim(txt); // trim out all the new lines 'n stuff

Better, though, to wrap these elements in something you can a) find easily and b) rely on (the number of text-nodes can get iffy)
