The second draft of the OpenSearch 1.1 specifications are now live at opensearch.a9.com. (OpenSearch is a set of simple formats for the sharing of search results.) This draft further simplifies and clarifies the 1.1 specification. We hope to solicit a last round of comments over the next several weeks leading up to the final release.
New in Draft 2:
- A unified XML namespace.
- Autodiscovery of OpenSearch engines.
- A means to declare recommended search queries.
- A public OpenSearch mailing list.
- A reorganized opensearch.a9.com website.
- and more…
So please, join us at opensearch.a9.com, subscribe to the mailing list, and let us know what you think!
