using Lynx and Grep to return search page rank - help

I am writing a script which will read in search terms from a text file and pass each line to Lynx. Lynx will grab the source html, then I want grep/tr, whatever to search for the first occurance of a term (mydomain.name), then delete from that 1st occurance on, creating a new end of file.

Then I want to count a certain marker <class=L> in the remaining source to determine the search engine page rank until end of file.

This is what I have so far. My primary issue is that google returns all search html source as 1 line, which is why I need to count the style tag <class=L> (in this case lowercase L), what I have right now grab the search terms and the results, but I'm unsure of where to go from here.

#!/bin/bash
cat ${1} | while read searchTerm; do
#echo "${searchTerm}"
lynx -source -accept_all_cookies "http://www.google.com/search?q=$searchTerm">> /path/to/dir/archive.txt
done

Thanks in Advance!

NAME
gnome-search-tool - the GNOME Search Tool SYNOPSIS
gnome-search-tool [options] or select Search for Files... from a Main Menu or from the Places menu in a Menu Bar DESCRIPTION
GNOME Search Tool is a utility for finding files on your system. To perform a basic search, you can type a filename or a partial filename, with or without wildcards. To refine your search, you can apply additional search options. GNOME Search Tool uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The case sensitivity of the search depends on your operating system. For example, on Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the -i option, so all searches are case-insensitive. For full documentation see the GNOME Search Tool online help. OPTIONS
