Merge Feeds by Relevance

Hi
I would like to merge several feeds together and then sort the listings by relevance to a certain term which i can specify, is this possible? and how would i do this?

Thanks

 

Hello,

What kind of "feeds" and how do you define "relevance" (keywords? length?).

Jay

 

the feeds are the youtube latest video feed, metacafe latest video feed and the break latest video feed, they should be sorted by how they relate to a certain term i specify in their description or title, for example the term could be funny

Thanks

 

That would mean the word "funny" MUST appear in the description or title.

In which case, you can write a small algorithm to sort titles/descriptions for number of occurrences or position in string. It's possible.

 

there is a small problem with that, because the feeds i am fetching from are already adding a tag to the end of a feed and so they all contain the term, i would just like to make them be ordered by their use of the term rather than ordered by date and time. is this still possible if so how?

thanks

 

You would need to have PHP fetch the feed(s) and re-order them, as I've implied above. Everything is possible.

 

could you explain how to do this in a bit more detail, i am a begginer programmer, please could you give me some resources that may help

thanks

 

Please help, someone.


Thanks
