How to use this application API from other php scripts?
You can make API calls by using the metasearch main class: MSE_Search_MSearch. For example: // first load the API require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/app/classes/MSE/Api.php'; // then you can make API calls: $MQ = new MSE_Search_MQuery('query string', 'category id'); $MS = new MSE_Search_MSearch($MQ); $Results = $MS->run();
How to add more search sources?
Create an Adapter class for your source and put it in directory app/classes/MSE/Search/Adapter. View the existing adapter classes for examples. Then you should register it in a search category within your configuration.
