This code will display any items from five different newsfeeds which contain the word "Microsoft" in either the title or description. Note that it is a good idea to set up background refreshing when accessing so many newsfeeds from the same page. Also note how $carpconf['poweredby'] was set to '' to avoid having "Newsfeed display by CaRP" displayed after the items extracted from each feed:
require_once "/path/to/carp.php";
// don't show any channel fields
CarpConf('cborder','');
// display a bullet before each item
CarpConf('bi','&bull ');
// only show items mentioning Microsoft
CarpConf('filterin','microsoft');
// show up to 3 items from each newsfeed
CarpConf('maxitems',3);
// show up to 100 characters of the description
CarpConf('maxidesc',100);
// don't show "Newsfeed display by CaRP" after each newsfeed
CarpConf('poweredby','');
// Update every 2 hours
CarpConf('cacheinterval',120);
// filter and display the data from each newsfeed
