Subject: Re: [search-ws] Abstract parameter names
From: "LeVan,Ralph" <levan@oclc.org> >> However we have named our abstract parameter for the query, "query", not >> "searchTerms". > > That's because OpenSearch doesn't support queries, but we do. Yes that was the rationalization but I'm trying to be practical and deal with the real world. Please consider this carefully: I have put an autodiscovery <link> element at http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/osru/ <link rel="search" href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/osru/opensearchdescription.xml" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="LC SRU" /> In the decription file, in the template, I have: query={searchTerms} And Firefox recognizes the search engine, so that you can select it from the Firefox search box in the upper right and send a CQL query, and it works. Try it. And that would not be possible if I didn't say: query={searchTerms} Is that not sufficient justification? --Ray
