I had the need to aggregate different search feeds, the requirement was to have a way to pass a param to the url like <em>search=search_term</em>, and this would be passed along to the the feeds and it would return results from all the feeds (obviously it had to be done in the front end only), I thought about adding more <a href='http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console'>YQL</a> requests to my app but I didn&#8217;t want to change the code since we were planning on having a re-factor of this part of the code, so super <a href='http://pipes.yahoo.com'>Yahoo! Pipes</a> to the rescue, it was a really easy task and got more than I asked for, like filters and sorting&#8230; the example speaks for itself: <a href='http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=4c40a274bec11e41ab22e5c91e5df9f2'>pipe example</a> you can clone it and play with it.</p> <p>You can also check all the other cool examples created by Paul Donnelly <a href='http://pipes.yahoo.com/31337'>http://pipes.yahoo.com/31337</a> or even check <a href='http://blog.pipes.yahoo.net/'>Pipes Blog</a> for their latest updates.</p>
