Britannica Supports OpenSearch

Filed under: web2.0, tools, search, britannica, technology

I’ve noticed that Britannica supports Amazon’s A9 OpenSearch protocol, by which you can obtain Britannica’s search results via RSS. For example, results for “Arunachal Pradesh” can be found at:

http://www.britannica.com/opensearch?ct=eb&start=0&count=20&query=arunachal+pradesh

See opensearch.a9.com for more information about the OpenSearch protocol. I don’t yet see an OpenSearch Description Document for Britannica.com, but it’s not difficult to see how to modify the query to get the results you are looking for.
