I think you'd need to define "smallest page"... is this the least
amount of displayed text, the smallest raw text, or something else?

That said, this is similar to what I'm doing in my ArchiveSearch
plugin: handing off search arguments to Google and data-mining the
results. There's too much code to paste inline here, but if you're
interested, take a look at the mouseUp script in button "btnSearch" of
the stack. Parsing through the returned info, though, could be
anything but "simple".
