No AppleScript needed
Authored by: Krioni on May 28, '03 05:13:44PM
I love AppleScript (indeed - I write a lot of it for work and fun), but it isn't really needed for this. If you want to get the results in a browser anyway, why not just bookmark this: (Try it!)

javascript:promptMsg='Enter the first name, last name, city, state abr (as much as you know):';actionURL='http://www.google.com/search?q=rphonebook:';q=prompt(promptMsg,'');window.open(actionURL+escape(q))

It pops up a single dialog in Safari, you enter what you know, and get a new window with the results. I've got a Search category in my bookmark bar with this and many other 'bookmarklets'. There are a lot more of those in the BBS archives here.
