    Hi,

    Hoping to get an answer, some direction for further development.

    I run an educational community on Ning. We don't have access to the database unfortunately.

    Everything is tagged but across different urls, depending on the content.
    See below.

    I hired a guy in India to develop a search and he decided to do it and consolidate all the categories into one result based on the rss feeds. Here's what he produced. http://open-source-developers.net/clients/efl/ (it is still rough, not formatted).

    It pulls up the content based on a library of tags (try "teaching" ). However, the titles won't hyperlink and take you to the original (which is what I need).
    Is there any way to do this - he says there isn't.

    Is there any way to program these rss feeds so that if you search "reading" for example. It will pull all the reading results from all of these and then display them together with hyperlinked titles?

    Thanks in advance for any guidance, suggestion.....

    RSS feeds:

    http://eflclassroom.ning.com/video/video/listTagged?tag=children&rss=yes&xn_auth=no
    http://eflclassroom.ning.com/profiles/blog/feed?tag=technology&xn_auth=no&key=no
    http://eflclassroom.ning.com/resources/topic/listForTag?tag=worksheets&feed=yes&xn_auth=no

    http://eflclassroom.ning.com/page/page/listForTag?tag=newsletter&sort=mostRecent&feed=yes&xn_auth=no


    Or is it easier to design something without rss and use these tag call ups and say "reading" is searched, it will pull from all of these?
