Sorry, what I mean by "support" is that someone here (not me) is setting up a gadget to fan out searches to multiple services and aggregate the results, and it wants to use OpenSearch to fetch machine-readable result sets. I've since come across Lucene Web Service (http://lucene-ws.net/index.html) which looks like it may be able to support that, but the documentation is not telling me much and I wonder if anyone has managed to make this work against DSpace's indices. I *think* I have it set up according to instructions (such as they are), but it always returns an empty workspace (indicating that there are no indices) in response to a Service query. > http://gizbuzz.co.uk/2007/making-your-own-opensearch-plugins/ That page seems to have a few errors, but helped me along quite a bit in learning about OpenSearch description documents. -- Mark H.
