XPath or CSS in Selenium RC with Java is not working

Question

I am trying to automate the following scenario with selenium RC:

1. Open Google home page and enter \"Software\" in search box and then click on search button.

Answer 1

Just a side note, Google has a ban on automated queries. I was using Google to test when I was new to testing, now I use our own server.

What you are looking for is this:

//a[contains(text(), 'software')] 

This selects the first link with "software" in the link text.
