Project Description

PLOS adds the possibility to add OpenSearch compatible search results to your Plone site.

OpenSearch is a collection of simple formats for the sharing of search results.

OpenSearch helps search engines and search clients communicate by introducing a common set of formats to perform search requests and syndicate search results.

PLOS enables you to syndicate the search results of your plone site by formatting them in the RSS or Atom formats, augmented with OpenSearch response elements.

PLOS adds a type SearchFeed that lets you search OpenSearch (or other Searches that return RSS or Atom so any plone Site) compatible search providers within your site.To search e.g. plone.org from your site add a search feed with the url:

http://plone.org/search_rss?SearchableText={searchTerms}

PLOS was build with ArgoUML and ArchGenXML, the pagetemplates are closely modeled after the plone search templates.

Have a look at the documentation on how to enable autodiscovery for your OpenSearch Engine.
