OpenSearch is a small set of conventions and documents for describing and using "search engines", meaning any service that returns a set of results for a query. See extensive description in the Business Layer section of the documentation.

Please note that RSS/Atom feeds require that OpenSearch is enabled to function.

for result data formatting, OpenSearch uses Syndication Feed Settings (RSS). So, even if Syndication Feeds are not enable, they must be configured to enable OpenSearch.

Note that a new field for authors has been added (used in Atom format only).
