so question is, how webpage html after putting text in search box? give thanks guys, here's code

import requests r = requests.post("http://www.trulia.com/homepage.php?", data={'searchbox_form form man':'7420 westlake ter #1210 20817'}) open("test.html", "w") f: f.write(r.text.encode("utf-8"))

the form submitted using http get method , submitted url in action attribute of form. submitting query in http://www.trulia.com/submit_search/
