I am looking for a method to perform rss feed extraction like a search page.

Example: user-text-field: " Food "

I would then create a $url variable and insert into the feedapi funcion parameter:
$feed_url: http://www.example.com/rss/parmeter=Food

then feedapi search would be performed and then redirected to a results page form or view.

1. The function name to invoke the search to pass the URL.
2. A method or an existing function/hook to enable extraction to be made in real time

Is that possible to achieve with FeedAPI?

Best Regards,
Jorge Nunes.

Yes. We've built something like that. We called it "Keyword feed builder (KWFB)" - unfortunately this module is 5.x and barely in shape for a release. Will be coming with a new version later this year though.

KWFB supports a variety of search engines and has a very simple plugin interface for adding more of them. It sits on top of feedapi in that it generates rss subscription URLs and creates feedapi nodes from them.

Module attached.

I will close this issue as this functionality is beyond the scope of feedapi.
