Net::Google perhaps? I've never used it, but it seems an obvious first step.

    Google, as programmers may be aware, does have a Regex search--but it is limited to programming code. They have not, so far as I am aware, made available any other regex searching of internet content in general. For what my friend was wanting, I think there were about two mentions of "academic" in someone's code somewhere. Obviously, that wasn't quite the answer he wanted.

    Blessings,
