Idea ?!

At the moment I have 10 IU's and thinking about Search Enigne where I can search anything and take results from that 10 IU's.

Is this possible to make it ? How to ? What do you think about such script ?

I had spoken to another user some time ago about doing something similar, but his idea was one database with multiple indexu sites. That made it a lot easier since everything was in one place.

As for your idea, yes it's possible if you know php and mysql. You'd have to do a whole bunch of database joins, which would probably slow down your results quite a bit. But it should be possible.

Where do you start? I would simply try joining two databases and running a query. Then you can try joining a third and so on. Start small until you've got it figured it.

I dont want to merge DB'ses - for me the simplest way is to give to search engine everything via XML feed (i.e. kanoolde,findology gives such feed) .May be that the good way to merge results ? make some plugin into each IU and requesting their feeds into one place ?

So,

One request to n directories, taking results via XML FEED, putting that into DB and displaying results. i was using a little time such script: orbitscripts.com

I never said you had to merge the databases, a mysql join simply joins a number of tables on the fly so you can query all of them at once.
