Return number of online search results? (PowerShell)

I doubt I will ever get around to creating this so I will give away the ideas for anybody to use if they want.



What this would have done is to create a formula for concepts like Cult Classics or Hidden Gems. Games that meet the formula requirements could then be tagged and filtered.



Cult Classic = (Community Rating = High AND Game Sales = Low)



Hidden Gem = (Community Rating = High AND Awareness = Low)




Comments:

• Community Rating could be obtained from websites such as MetaCritic or MobyGames
  
• Awareness would be calculated by Number of Search Engine Results for GameName (+Platform Name?)  / Max Awareness.
  
• Max Awareness = Highest awareness number found for any game (I'm guessing Pacman Tetris or Space Invaders?)
  
• Games Sales would need a website that tracks games sales. It would need to be divided by the number of consoles sold to keep it relative. Some old games may not appear to be best sellers if compared to modern AAA releases but they are best sellers as a percentage of that console sold.
  
• The thresholds for High and Low are arbitrary - these percentages would need to be tweaked by the developer.
  
• Not just Cult Classic + Hidden Gem. This could also be used to find & tag games that are Best Sellers - (Total Games Sold / Consoles Sold = HIGH)
