Pimp your pipe- Search Exploder

This is a powerful little search tool I built for easily delving into a topic of interest. It is called Search Exploder.

On the techie side, this uses 2 yahoo pipes. The first one searches a default list of RSS feeds for terms you provide (searches for each term independently of the rest, so it is like running multiple searches at once). The results are processed and an extra title, link, and description is inserted into them. This extra link invokes the second pipe which simply runs a Yahoo Search on the title of the RSS feed article you are interested in. This explodes your original search but in a more detailed way. Good stuff- it let's you pull in multiple viewpoints  and information on the same general topic.
