Just wondering if I could write something that'll query google with a search string and if the summary box returns, fetch only that, otherwise fetch the first few links. I think this is called "screen scraping"

According to search engine watch, it's called a google answer box. There is a google API called freebase. However, it was retired june 30, so there will no longer be updates to the API itself.

Freebase API
