Sure it's possible in Java.  Not too hard, either.
You can open a URL and read it as a stream of bytes and check
the bytes for the search string, repeating the process any time
you find "<A HREF=..." text.

An easier way would be to use a tool like Vtopia's (www.vtopia.com)
Hypertext product.  With just a couple of lines of code, you tell
it to read a particular URL and it reads it into a tree (DOM)
structure.  You then write code to walk thru the tree, looking
for your text.
