Batch file that search in google and opens specific web site

Just wrote this powershell script up that takes a user input, searches google with chrome, tabs to the first link and then opens it. The loop can be modified to select any element on the page (changing the number 17 in this example).

Copy this into notepad and save as a .ps1, then right click on it and open it with powershell. When PS opens, it will ask for a search term. Type oranges

[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'System.Windows.Forms")
$userSearch = Read-Host -Prompt 'Insert Search Term'
[System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start("chrome.exe","www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=" + $userSearch)
Start-Sleep -s 3

For ($i=0; $i -le 17; $i++)
{
    [System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{TAB}") 
    Start-Sleep -m 150
}
Start-Sleep -s 1
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{ENTER}") 
pause

There is another way by using IE and more of the .net api to grab elements off the page by ID by google search results arent really conducive to that. If you were scraping data off of a specific page that had static info, it would be more ideal to use. Real flexibility comes with using Selenium though, but that takes some programming experience. You should just be able to edit this code as is and figure out how to get it to do what you want.

Edit: Pre-requisite - have chrome.

Here is another way to do it with IE. This will prompt for a search term, then open one tab that uses "I'm feeling Lucky" to go to the best page and a second tab with regular search results. Save as a .ps1.

$url1 = "http://www.google.com/search?q="
$url2 = "&btnI"
$userSearch = Read-Host -Prompt 'Insert Search Term'
$ie = New-Object -com internetexplorer.application; 
$ie.visible = $true; 
$ie.navigate($url1 + $userSearch + $url2);
$ie.navigate($url1 + $userSearch , 2048)

There are options for doing this:

1. Selenium browser automation
2. Phantom -- Headless web browser

You could try both of them and choose one based on your task requirements and your programming experience.
