Introduction

Evergreen responds to OpenSearch requests. This can be a good way to get search results delivered in a format that you prefer.

Throughout this section, replace <hostname> with the domain or subdomain of your Evergreen installation to try these examples on your own system.

Opensearch queries will be in the format http://<hostname>/opac/extras/opensearch/1.1/-/html-full?searchTerms=item_type(r)&searchClass=keyword&count=25

In this example,

html-full is the format you would like. html-full is a good view for troubleshooting your query.
searchTerms is a url-encoded search query. You can use limiters in the limiter(value) format. For example, you can use a query like item_lang(spa)
count is the number of results per page. The default is 10, and the maximum is 25.

Other options include:

searchSort and searchSortDir, which can be used to display the results in a different order (e.g. for an RSS feed).
