Need to aggregate blog RSS feeds into a single site

Can use FeedDigest.com, but looking for searchable solution.

I'm hoping to aggregate the RSS feeds of a number of blogs on a specific topic (with their permission, BTW!) so that they are collected on a single site.

I could use FeedDigest, which is great, but I'm looking for a more sophisticated solution, something that is searchable or at the very least stores older posts.

I could use Drupal I suppose, but wondered if anyone had any other suggetions?

I'm posting here as I would have thought PHP/MySql would probably offer the best solution. If I'm wrong, please let me know!

I built something like this in the past. What I did was to read the rss feeds and store a snippet, url, title into Mysql. I was then able to search the DB to return articles that matched the query.

You can also set this up to display most recent articles, artices from one specifc feed or any other combination that you can code for.

My building block was an opensource web based rss feed reader. I then modified it to my requirements and wrote the display/search part.

I hope this gives you some tips on how you may be able to proceed.
