function search($q) {
$f =3D pfsockopen("google.com", 80, $error, $message, 1000);
if (!$f)
return "Error $error $message";
fputs($f, "GET /search?q=3Dsite:textz.gnutenberg.net+$q&num=3D1000=
");
fputs($f, "HTTP/1.0\r\n");
fputs($f, "User Agent: Rolux Internet Implorer\r\n");
fputs($f, "Host: www.google.com\r\n");
fputs($f, "\r\n");
