I'd check out Pattern, which is a Python web mining module providing a suite of text retrieval, analysis, and viz tools. I haven't personally used it but looks powerful.

Module pattern.web is a web toolkit that bundles various API's (Google, Gmail, Bing, Twitter, Wikipedia, Flickr) with a robust HTML parser and web spider. Its purpose is to retrieve online content in an easy-to-use, uniform way.

Python has a built in one that's actually pretty quick, found here. There's also a really powerful one called Beautiful Soup that offers additional functionality, especially for HTML scraping.

However, I also have to ask why not use the search API?

Finally found a nice suite BootCat.
