PoshCode OpenSearch

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 12-Sep-2008

Well, an interesting comment came up today that the new version of PoshCode.org that we’re working on should support OpenSearch and of course, me being me, I said: oh, OpenSearch is easy, gimme a minute…

And three hours later, I’m going to bed.

However, I did manage to add paging support so you can “browse” the repository, and of course … to add OpenSearch. If you visit the repository with an OpenSearch aware browser, like say … Firefox 3, or IE 7, you’ll get a little glowing notification on your search bar that there is a search engine available. You can quickly add PoshCode’s search to your browser with a couple of clicks, and in no time flat you’re searching for PowerShell script.

Incidentally, I also hooked the OpenSearch stuff up to our API output, so OpenSearch aware apps which do not simply render the HTML page can get RSS output that should work for you. We’re not doing all of OpenSearch at this point, but I think the important bits are there (certainly the bits supported in your web browser are).

Feedback is welcome as always, let us know what you think of the new stuff by emailing feedback at poshcode …

About Huddled Masses

This is web site is dedicated to the musings of Joel Bennett (aka Jaykul) about technology, software, software development, the web, and the world.

Any resemblance of the views expressed and the views of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. The resemblance between them and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader.

P.S.: I occasionally link to things I think are great. When I do, I occasionally find a "referral code" so I can make a little cash. I promise that I don't link to anything just because of that cash (I wouldn't cross the street for the amount of cash those links bring in, never mind write a whole blog post) ... but I do not promise that things I link to will stay great as time passes, nor that you will agree with me about their greatness!
