Nick Lothian has put up a 0.1 release of a nice Search Engine wrapper API called Argos. About Argos

Argos is an open source (Apache licenced) Java library for accessing the search APIs provided by internet search engines. It provides a consistent, extensible and easy to use API, while supporting advanced features such as a paged request model and a simultaneous search across multiple engines.

Argos currently supports the following search engines:

• Blogdigger
• Del.icio.us
• Feedster
• Google
• Google Desktop Search
• MSN Search
• Technorati
• Yahoo

Here is an example of running a simultanous search on MSN and Blogdigger:

List<Searcher> searcherList = new LinkedList<Searcher>();               
searcherList.add(new MSNWebSearcher());
searcherList.add(new BlogdiggerWebSearcher());

SimultaneousSearcher searcher = new SimultaneousSearcher(searcherList);

Iterator<SearchResult> it = searcher.search("Java");
while (it.hasNext()) {
	SearchResult result = it.next();
	System.out.println(result.getTitle() + " Address: " + result.getAddress());
}
