After my last post, I decided to do what I outlined to throw together a quick search page for my blog. Give it a try:
Not too bad for a few minutes of playing around. Basically I did use Scott Mitchell's RssFeed server control. I take the search value and set it as the source for the control like this:
string search = string.Format("http://beta.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=site%3Aryanfarley.com+{0}&format=rss",
HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(SearchText.Text));
RssFeed1.DataSource = search;
RssFeed1.DataBind();
That's it. The rest was just adding some formatting via the RssFeed control's properties. Search away.
