CURL is a good way to go:

    $toSearch = 'Questions';

    // create curl resource
    $ch = curl_init();

    // set url
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://stackoverflow.com/");

    //return the transfer as a string
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

    // $output contains the output string
    $output = curl_exec($ch);

    // close curl resource to free up system resources
    curl_close($ch);

    //search for the string
    if(strpos($output, $toSearch ) !== FALSE ) {
       echo "Found The Word " . $toSearch;
    }
