A, and probably the biggest, internet search engine, reachable e.g. at http://google.com

See [Fuzzy Google truth] for an oracle that filters out how many pages Google found for a query.

For examples of use of the "Google Web API", see
[http://cedar.intel.com/cgi-bin/ids.dll/content/content.jsp?cntKey=Generic+Editorial%3a%3aws_google&cntType=IDS_EDITORIAL&catCode=CJA].
Active discussion of the API is available
through google.* netnews

[[Anyone want to add info here about code to search google's comp.lang.tcl* newsgroups?]]

[[Anyone want to add info here about code to convert usenet message-id strings into google URLs?]]

Use http://groups.google.com/groups?as_umsgid=$message_id (replacing $message_id with the usenet message-id of the post in question).

If you check http://www.google.com/apis/api_faq.html , you will see that
there is a [WSDL] definition for google, allowing an application using
[SOAP] to access the host.  A Tcl example doing this would be wonderful -
it could eliminate at least some cases of [web scraping].
