You will have to parse the webpages results, using regular expressions. Here is an example that parses google for it's results:

<?php

// Url to search page.
$url 		= "http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=php&btnG=Google+Search&meta=";
// Grab the contents from url.
$contents 	= file_get_contents( $url );
// Expression to retreive H3 tags.
$exp		= "/<h3 class=r>(.*?)<\/h3\>/";

// get results (note: preg_match_all)
preg_match_all( $exp, $contents, $results );
echo '<pre>';
// Print thr results - note index of 1 not 0.
print_r( $results[1] );
echo '</pre>';
	 
?>

And here is a tutorial for parsing webpages.
