OpenSearch Support

OpenSearch is a standard for building mashups of web search results. Gnizr supports the OpenSearch standard in two different ways: (1) allows third-party OpenSearch services to be plugged into a gnizr installation, (2) exposes gnizr's search services as OpenSearch services.

Search mashups are powerful. For example, A9.com allows search results to be returned from multiple search engines, and users can view them in a single unified page. Gnizr's OpenSearch page is designed with a similar philosophy. Through (1), gnizr administrators will be able to add/remove new OpenSearch services by editing a simple configuration. Here is a screenshot.

Sometimes it's desirable to expose gnizr searches in other application's mashup -- e.g., publishing the search services of your gnizr installation in A9.com. In (2), gnizr's bookmark search comes with built-in OpenSearch descriptions.
