Hey Doug, Complete agree here: RSS makes a lot of sense since it's really a standard for representing a "list of items" and their respective metadata. This list of items is basically the main product of the search engine, i.e., it's list of results. I think that if by default search.jsp produced RSS output, rather than HTML, Nutch would also be more attractive as an API to plug in to, and Nutch could be one of the standard components in some system of systems architecture.
I'm all for it. Cheers, Chris ______________________________________________ Chris A.
