Hmm, then I suggest a bug will be filed for this, so it can be prioritized and scheduled I guess ... note that adding such API will be a bigger effort, one will need to add an interface, preferably use SearchEngine internally and design the whole comm. I personally think it's a good idea ... so far the only "structured format output" is the CLI call, but it needs the path to config file as another param, see http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/opengrok/trunk/src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/search/Search.java and is not that easy to parse. Based on it, one can create an interface, which is even callable from web I guess ... hmm? L > -- Jim R.
