Need help getting links from google search results

[NewTechGuy]

I have taken a class over the basics in Java through generics although I haven't yet done any coding outside of homework so it was pretty basic, no gui and no internet interaction.

What I'm interested in is being able to get a list of links returned by google from words input by the user. Would just downloading the file

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=x+y+z

and then parsing it be my best option or is there a smoother way? If there's a tutorial somewhere that might help me please point the way.

Thanks,

I hope 6 days is long enough for bumping. Any help on this yet?
