I am trying to find a example code for using one input textfield to do a search on multiple search engines/sites. Can someone help me out with the code?


If you can't find anything that does the whole thing for you, break it into pieces and look for sample code for each piece.

1. Set up an action method that runs when the user hits Return in that text field or presses a Search button.
2. For each search engine, generate an NSURL that contains the search terms from the text field, in that engine's query syntax.
3. Send an NSHTTPURLRequest to that URL.
4. Parse the results, probably using NSXMLDocument. The XPath query methods on it are a pretty powerful way to do this.


Follow-ups to cocoa-dev, since this isn't a question about development tools.
