to search this site the URL is

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=[Cardname]

but this is for one word searches for two word searches it changes to

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=[firstword]+[secondword]

ok i just changed the code to work for three different situation IE one word two words or three words and i can add more if i need (if anyone has a better method of writing it let me know please)

the next step is when you do a search it redirects you to a url with an ID at the end (looks like this)

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=212716

now i need to "rip" the ID from the URL, the image and all the information on the card

any suggestions
