The rendered HTML output is actually structured XML[1].
If you examine the source of a results page, you may recognize
that it is structured.

For examples, results are contained within a
<div id="results">

A result file is contained within a
<td class="f">

Line numbers for matched lines are in
<span class="l">12</span>

It may not be difficult to write a XSLT transformation that can be
programmatically used to retrieve just the needed information
 - a neat alternative to webscrapping.

[1] Note that the results page does not pass validation when tested
with http://validator.w3.org/ - these are bugs.

Thanks,
-Chandan
