RSS Fed Search engine?

    Do RSS Fed Search engines exist? I want to create a search engine where the results are fed using RSS feeds, but I wondered if such a script existed to make it a lot easier.

    Thanks.

    MSN results have feeds. You can use those, if it's allowed. Just use something like MagPieRSS to parse it.

    I've looked at that before, but I was thinking more of a search engine that had a database which was fed by multiple RSS inputs.

    What's the difference whether they get their data from crawling or RSS?

    I will be able to combine the results of multiple search engines. Plus, the problem with the feeds on the MSN results is that there is a different feed for each page, not each keyword, so I've got to somehow script the script so that it can load up multiple pages.

    Thank you very much, I'll look into that :)

    I've been looking at I belive it was called RSS2HTML, you've probably heard of it, it simply converts RSS feeds into readable html content. I think I might experiment making my own script and see how easy it is :)

    Thanks for all the help.
