Data needs to be retrieved from xpath locations found on the result pages of a search engine and the pages it links to. To search, it must use keywords and two refinements that have been inserted into a Zoho spreadsheet (using a form). So, when the spreadsheet is opened, the last added keyword must be used to query the search engine, then the refinements that are found on the result pages must be added to the spreadsheet and then these refinements must be used to query the search engine. The various result pages that these queries open plus the pages they link to, must be xpathed and the retrieved data entered into the spreadsheet. (probably a hundred rows for every result page) I think all of this is a matter of simple xpath placement. Here's how in Zoho Creator html pages can be extracted using xpath: http://forums.zoho.com/#Topic/2266000000651005 Please ask if you need clarification.
