Summary
This page documents technical details about selected search engines
to support automated SEO analysis test playbacks.
To do this kind of testing requires that we have available
the DOM element names and values for the two key search engine
interfaces:
the search text entry point,
and,
the search action point (button).
Here is a table showing some popular Internet Search Engines that are available to be used. In each instance the table shows the required DOM parameters for these two key search engine input areas.
