Getting data from a web page and set this data into a database

Hi,
  I'm really new in Delphi programming, and I'm very lost. I need to make a program that does the following:
Take a string to be searched in a web page
The program must be able to select the web page to be the object of the search (google, yahoo, etc) (I already did that)
The results of the search must be shown in a listbox in this way:
   - New web sites (sites never visited) must be shown as green
   - Visited web sites must be shown as red

I have problems to start the database (just one table in it), and for getting the data from the web page. I don't know what classes I must use. Please, I'd appreciate any help with this matter. I need to make this program along this weekend, or I'll be fired. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
   Sorry for the delay. I've been pretty busy with this. Thanks for the help. I've already done the database part, but now I need to get the data from the web page. I'm using an TIdHTTP object that calls the following


var response: TString;
     IdHTTP1: TIdHTTP;
response:=IdHTTP1.Get('HTTP://www.google.com');

I always get the exception EIdHTTPProtocolException with message 'HTTP/1.1 302 Found'

I don't know if it could be because of the initial values of this object. Please, any help with this matter will be appreciated. Thanks again for the help.
