	Like I said before, you need to make this class a model class not a  
controller. And don't have it inherit from anything. Lets say you  
call this class YahooSearch:

Create a file called yahoo_search.rb and put it in your model directory

Now in any controller in your application you can use it like this:


class EnginesController < ApplicationController

     model :yahoo_search

   def search
       @data = YahooSearch.yahoo
   end

end



	And now you can call your search with the url  http://example.com/ 
engine/search

Make sense?
