When publishing an XML document, your job is to provide the results in a known document format (RSS or something else entirely) and let them know how your URIs work. It can get a bit more complicated than that in some cases, but not for simple search engine queries. > ...or could they just use inline frames that point to templates on our site? I think you need to clarify exactly what you're trying to do. (1) Are you trying to provide search results that can be consumed by other machines/servers, stored and/or manipulated, and then displayed to that machine's user(s)? If so, then XML is what you're after. (2) Are you trying to provide search results directly to end-users, without any storage or customization on the part of "foreign" sites? If so, then just output plain ol' HTML. You can deliver it via IFRAME or Javascript. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL http://admin.support.journurl.com/ http://admin.mxblogspace.journurl.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
