The Bing API url is supposed to connect to Microsoft's search index api server to transfer RSS feeds and search results that can show up on your own search engine website.

That's correct.

I'm rechecking the documentation, it appears that it wants me to input a prebuilt Apiscript.php file to my websites search folder, i'll try that then get back to you on whether it worked or not.

Bleh didnt work, i'm wondering whether they blocked the web search function intentionally or not, and 99% of the php files on the search engine seem to be encrypted with some humongously long hash table so editing it doesn't seem possible.
Blergh the bastards did it intentionally, went to check their demo versions, you have to upgrade to the enterprise edition in order to get web search which was colorfully renamed to "free listings search". How the fuck do they expect a search engine to function if it barely searches?
Thank you guys for all the help, at least i now know how the Php Bing Search API works now.

Heh, sounds both Microsoft and anti-Microsoft at the same time...
So what are you going to do? Stick with just Google and Yahoo?
