You need to try my SURF for such things. It only ever brings back HTML
pages, nicely wrapped as mostly text with only the offpage anchors,
and never goes back for graphics, and runs no scripts, etc. It also
has embedded knowledge to query dozens of search engines for you.

Surf 1.7 - This is my favorite tool for Internet text discovery.
I go into a clean directory, and say "surf -q topic", and after a
little while, I have lots of HTML files full of text from web pages
that mention topic. I read them in Brief, Notepad or double-click
them in Windows Explorer to launch Internet Explorer. A list.txt
file describes and ranks them by quality metrics to speed my study.
