AOL search to CSV for repeatable research
Collect AOL result rows by keyword
Start from the bundled Sustainable living search URL, then replace it with your own approved AOL queries. Add more URLs in Navigate when you need several keywords in one run.
Export a compact spreadsheet
Structured Export writes one row per result with the keyword, headline, decoded link, and description-like metadata such as length, age, source, or accessible label text.
Use best-effort pagination
After each export, UScraper scrolls down, checks for a visible enabled AOL Next button, clicks it when present, waits for the next page, and appends the next result set.
Run in the local desktop app
The browser session and CSV are controlled from your machine unless you add a separate upload or sharing block.

2
Edit AOL Search URLs
Replace the starter q=Sustainable+living URL in Navigate with your own keyword. Add more AOL Search URLs to the same list for batch runs.
3
Confirm the CSV path
Structured Export writes aol-search-result-scraper.csv with headers and append mode. Change the save folder before client, campaign, or research-specific batches.
4
Run and watch the first pass
UScraper loads AOL, waits for result headings, exports the visible rows, scrolls to pagination, and follows the enabled Next control when it appears.
5
Review the output
Open the CSV, spot-check several links, and confirm description metadata is useful before expanding the keyword list.

Headers included - rows append across pagination and configured AOL URLs
The column set mirrors the template's Structured Export block. It is intentionally small so analysts can sort by keyword, deduplicate links, review result titles, and hand the destination URLs to deeper extractors from the UScraper template library.
Frequently asked questions
AOL Search pages may be publicly visible, but automated collection can still be restricted by AOL or Yahoo terms, robots directives, publisher rights in snippets, privacy rules, and local law. Keep batches modest, avoid bypassing access controls, and get legal review before commercial reuse.
Before you run
Practical limits and maintenance notes
Keep these guardrails in view
Pacing
Search pages can throttle aggressive automation
Start with one keyword, avoid parallel browser runs, and add longer waits if AOL responds slowly or shows verification, consent, regional, or unusual-traffic pages.
Layout drift
Result cards and pagination can change
The workflow targets common AOL result containers and a visible enabled Next button. Empty exports or missing titles usually mean the page layout, result type, or wrapped-link pattern needs review.
Policy
Use exports for approved research workflows
Search snippets and destination links can carry contractual, copyright, privacy, and internal-policy constraints. Document your allowed use before republishing or selling derived datasets.
