::The task title can be changed, and disallowed by robots.txt, and a disclaimer. But i think that this is insufficient too. Feel free to remove that task. --[[User:Guga360|Guga360]]
: I've done a little bit of experiments; using directly a wget will result in a 403 http answer. Changing the user-agent (even a void string, or a non existing like MikeyMouse/1.0!) worked... '''But'''... I've read Yahoo! TOS, and tried wget on Yahoo!, and it works even without changing User-Agent. So, maybe, this same task can be changed in order to use Yahoo! instead? (Anyone with a better english could check the TOS, if it really does not disallow what Google disallows) --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 21:50, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
::I would think that most search providers would not like programmatic searches as it is so easily abused. What would we loose by just dropping this task? Against what could be lost if we include it? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 22:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
