> One problem is that the
> [specification](http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1#OpenSearch_description_document)
> for the XML file contains a number of silly limits to field lenghs.
> For example, it wants a "ShortName" that identifies the search engine,
> to be 16 characters or less. The Description is limited to 1024,
> the LongName to 48. This limits what existing config settings can be
> reused for those.
>
> Another semi-problem is that the specification saz:
>
>> OpenSearch description documents should include at least one Query element of role="example" that is expected to return search results. Search clients may use this example query to validate that the search engine is working properly.
>
> How should ikiwiki know what example query will return actual results?
> (How would a client know if a HTML page contains results or not, anyway?)
> Sillyness. Ignore this? --[[Joey]]
