How do I get search engine results programatically?  Some search engines use AJAX to display content and so the URL does not change. This makes it difficult to get result content from a search engine programatically.

Most search engines do not use AJAX.  But two popular ones that I am interested in is YANDEX and DUCKDUCKGO.  Both of these search engines use AJAX to advance beyond the first page of results.  How do I find a way to programatically access these pages?

Hello William,

For the RadGrid you can use the SEO paging:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/programming/seopaging/defaultcs.aspx

In general it will be hard to make the whole Ajax based site SEO frendly, because it might not exist URL that to point to given state of the site. If the URL does not exist, it can't by shown in the search results.

All the best,
