I have a loop that runs during a certain time-span every day. Every five minutes, this loop opens google.com in a webBrowser. Here I wish for it to automatically search for "sp500 chart" and read the current daily percentage change in value. This value is then converted for later use. I believe this is the line I should be looking at in my browser's element list: <span class="fac-cc">17.67 (0.76%)</span>, and I could use GetElementById/InnerText to address it.
Although most solutions I've seen online look simple enough, I cannot seem to understand how to point to the search box on google.com and insert a predetermined text. This is as far as I ever get:
while ((now > start) && (now < end))
{
webBrowser1.Navigate("google.com");
