search
This link relation is defined in http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1.
It identifies a link to an OpenSearch
specification. When a search
link appears in a feed
resource returned by the web service, it indicates that the collection
is searchable. The resource referenced by the
search
link is an OpenSearch document describing
the format of the search requests that may be submitted to search the
collection. Links of this type occur in feed resources representing
content items collections.
The following example shows a feed resource containing a link of this type:
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <author> <name>Escenic Content Engine</name> </author> <id>http://host-ip-address/webservice/escenic/section/22/content-items</id> <link rel="self" href="http://host-ip-address/webservice/escenic/section/22/content-items" type="application/atom+xml"/> <updated>2010-06-01T07:08:10.427Z</updated> <author/> <title type="text">Content items for section with dbid="22"</title> <link rel="search" href="http://host-ip-address/webservice/open-search/escenic/22/content-search-description.xml" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml"/> </feed>
