Hello Sir, I see that you have similar jobs for different universities. I can help you extract all the data for all the universities as all of them has the same problem which is data output limit. I can create smart system that can check results and create longer search words if necessary to get over that limitation of 50 or 500 records returned. But i am not willing to make such algorithm for 40$ only. But if you give me to do all the universities you need then I can make it for 40$ per site. The price can be discussed when you tell me how much sites you have to scrape. Check my profile to see that people who worked with me are extremely satisfied with results and speed. I have 100% completion rate and I can start right away. Best regards, Dusan

Hi, I have investigated Illinois' directory and would like to make a suggestion. The problem with using the searchbox for which "Jones" produces too many results is that this is controlled on their server - there is nothing we can do to get around this on the client side. INSTEAD, may I suggest using the A-Z Index? This lists all departments and staff therein. I can write a script which cycles through each page (starting at A, ending at Z) and grabs the information listed under 'Faculty' and 'Faculty/Staff', that being Name, Title and Email. The Department is already present since we are filtering results by department, so the script will add whichever department it is currently at in the A-Z cycle. Once this is complete, I will search all our results for a name with numerous entries and compare that to the number of results returned using your searching method, just to make sure none have been missed. I am happy to discuss this further with you - it really should not take long for me to deliver the spreadsheet. Let me know if you have any questions. Kind regards, Daniel
