Mechanism

This Yahoo Pipe does the following:

  1. Aggregates these search results simultaneously:
  2. Filters the results and ensures that the links are unique.
  3. Sorts the results by date such that the latest addition onto the pool will appear at the top of the list.

In other words, it acts as an RSS feed alerts for all these search engines.

Tips

  • To utilize this well, use dashes '-' in place of space ' ' such that the tags will be valid for del.icio.us
