Hi all,

I think what Dave is looking for is results in some other format than
rendered HTML, for use as an API into a codebase.

For example, consider an eclipse plugin which offers typing
suggestions based on known tokens from OpenGrok.  Such a plugin could
be written by scraping the HTML results - or by hooking into another
API of some kind.

I think Dave is looking for that other API.
