When i get home from work and my political activities tonight i'll post to
the list the code.

I've basically taken the ealier XML query search.jsp, modified it to be
OpenSearch (opensearch.a9.com) standard, created a description.xml for the
service and an xsl stylesheet that is called when the query top !=openrss
in the query string.

Basically this provides the functionality of RSS 2.0 search results,
integration with other search engines (a9.com) and a clean interface to
customize the SERPS on without fussing with a new/edit/revised search.jsp.

I can also pull most (if not all) of the description.xml from
nutch-site.xml as part of a ant process or a configuration script or
something.

You can test the queries here:

http://www.mozdex.com/open.jsp?query=linux

You can also login to a9.com and add the 'mozdex' bar and see the results
side by side to google (or any other search you choose)

(http://www.mozdex.com/search.jsp?query=linux will be converted to use
xml/rss and stylesheet tonight to cleanup my SERP's and formating issues)

I've thought about writing a script that does an install process to set
many of the nutch-site parameters and defaults (such as plugins, nutch
memory options and such).  Is it possible to do some of this through ANT
as part of a build/deploy or should i jump into a perl/shell script type
setup for this?


Oh yeah, does anyone have any tips on cleaning up the SUMMARIES so any
lingering code, cntrl characters or non XML valid characters don't come
through?  The following search causes it to barf:
