The specification was intended to allow syndication of search results that could then be aggregated by one large index. OpenSearch provides a simple to use description of the search interface, which is called an OpenSearch Description document (OSDD). A client (e.g., a browser) can use this description to check which response formats are supported and how a query\/filter can be formulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This specification is currently being maintained at github.com\/dewitt\/opensearch and is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license\u00a0 (<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/dewitt\/opensearch\/blob\/master\/LICENSE.txt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/github.com\/dewitt\/opensearch\/blob\/master\/LICENSE.txt<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenSearch This standard which comprises several parts originated in a community effort built around Amazon\u2019s A9.com.
