[help] Looking for search capability for XML or text

I am looking for a search engine or something that can search thru the text of an XML/Feed.

I have a blog that my business uses and by using the google plugin it shows our competitors. This obviously wont do.

I also tried Feedster and some other blog searchers, but they all have ads for our competitors on the right hand side.

What I need is the ability to search an existing blog without ads.

Something completely simple and preferably something I can add a search box into the html so it can be done within the blog.

http://mindbridge.blogspot.com is the blog

http://mindbridge.blogspot.com/atom.xml is the feed

Any help?

*Edit: This can also be an internal search API, Java, or PHP addition. it doesnt have to be a site.

I apologize. I am not trying to bump, but I have to have something by midnight tonight.

This is kind of lame, but you said you need suggestions.

See if the Google API can help you there. Just a basic suggestion, and I'm sorry if it's not much help.

As I said, if you had read it, I tried using the google one, but it gives me ads to competitors sites.

But thanks anyway

Well, I did read it, but it was kind of unclear. Either that, or I didn't understand it.

Sorry.

Are you sure there's not a way to exclude certain results?

Positive...what I need is a solution which doesnt depend on an outside site

Please...somebody...this is urgent.

My job may depend on it.

Have you looked at using XPath?

It's how iTunes searches it's library (i.e. it's very fast, and fairly extensible). Basically, it's a way of specifying node-centric searches on XML documents.

For example, to find all nodes issued on 26th August 2004, you'd carry out the following XPath query (or something like it) on the aforementioned XML feed:

//issued[text().contains('2004-08-26')]/..

This would then return all nodes whose child issued node's text value contained the string '2004-08-26'.

If you've got questions, you know where I am.

Also...

Topic Moved.

This belongs in Web Development, methinks.
