Wall Street Journal, WSJ, Free version, recipe improvement for full text of all articles

I see the stories that are locked for subscription on the wsj site and understand that those stories are not complete when downloaded.

Googling around I discovered this article on how to retrieve the full story from google without a subscription.
I looked at the recipe for the wsj and this looks like it might be feasible to modify it to retrieve the text of the stories from google.

So the change I would see to the recipe to get this working is :
1) For most stories nothing changes in the recipie
2) when a “key” is included with the story the recipie places the headline into google and retrieves the full story from the link returned

Would anyone with programming background be able to modify the recipe to retrieve all of the WSJ article content using the google link?
