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!

grep

GREP(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   GREP(1)

NAME

       grep - search a file for lines containing a given pattern

SYNOPSIS

       grep [-elnsv] pattern [file] ...

OPTIONS

       -e     -e pattern is the same as pattern

       -c     Print a count of lines matched

       -i     Ignore case

       -l     Print file names, no lines

       -n     Print line numbers

       -s     Status only, no printed output

       -v     Select lines that do not match

EXAMPLES

       grep mouse file	   # Find lines in file containing mouse

       grep [0-9] file	   # Print lines containing a digit

DESCRIPTION

       Grep  searches  one  or	more  files (by default, stdin) and selects out all the lines that match the pattern.  All the regular expressions
       accepted by ed and mined are allowed.  In addition, + can be used instead of * to mean 1 or more occurrences, ? can be used to mean 0 or  1
       occurrences,  and  |  can  be used between two regular expressions to mean either one of them.  Parentheses can be used for grouping.  If a
       match is found, exit status 0 is returned.  If no match is found, exit status 1 is returned.  If an error is detected,  exit  status  2	is
       returned.
