Using regular expressions in internet searches

[mike.ceravolo at gmail.com]

What is the best way to use regular expressions to extract information
from the internet if one wants to search multiple pages? Let's say I
want to search all of www.cnn.com and get a list of all the words that
follow "Michael."

(1) Is Python the best language for this? (Plus is it time-efficient?)
Is there already a search engine that can do this?

(2) How can I search multiple web pages within a single location or
path?

TIA,

Mike
