If you get the file with the above wget command, the result does not contain the pattern:
Code:
<p><a href=

either

Try:
Code:
grep -o '<a href="http[^"]*"'|grep -v 'search?q=cache:'|grep -v '\.google\.'|sed 's/<a href="//;s/"$//'

Except for the first link which is a link to youtube the rest seems to reflect the actual search results.

Result:
