    I have created this small code as an example for what this script can do. As everybody know vBulletin is a powerfull board cand can't be tricked easily.
    I have used G4F as example , i hope shabbir will not get angry :D
    PHP:
    <html>
        <head><title>Fetch info from any website.</title></head>
        <body>
        <center>
        <form action="gfe.php" method="post">
        <input type="text" name="searchinfo" value=""/>
        <input type="submit" value="Get info"/>
        </form>
        <?php
       
    // created by Alex Gabriel
      // http://ethicalforums.com
        
    function a($string$start$end){
        
    $string " ".$string;
        
    $ini strpos($string,$start);
        if (
    $ini == 0) return "";
        
    $ini += strlen($start);    
        
    $len strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
        return 
    substr($string,$ini,$len);
        }
        
    $test=$_POST['searchinfo'];
        if (
    $test == ""){
        echo 
    "Please insert any value";
        }
        else {
        
    $source file_get_contents ("http://www.go4expert.com/search.php?do=process&query=$test");
        if (
    stripos(strtolower($source), 'Sorry - no matches.') !== false) {
        echo 
    'No results found.';
        exit();
        }
        else 
        {
        
    $code_first_part a($source,'id="thread_title_','<span class="smallfont"');    
        
        
    //thread id
        
    $id=a($source,'<a rel="nofollow" href="showthread.php?t=','&amp;');
        
    //cleaning some stuff
        //title
        
    $title a($code_first_part,'">','</a>');
        
    ?>
        <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.go4expert.com/showthread.php?t=<?php echo $id;?>"><?php echo $title?></a>
        <?php
        
    }
        }
        
    ?>
        </center>
        </body>
        </html> 
    This script will return the first result of any search peoples make on G4F on any website where this code is used. I have't made this script to show all the responses of a search query since i am not interested on this .

    No I am perfectly fine with this as long as it does not query too many times.
