Supporting open standards always has always been one of the core mission statements for the Jahia software. So it made a lot of sense to implement the OpenSearch API.
OpenSearch can be used either from a federated search or in order to facilitate access to the local search index. In the former case, Jahia can simultaneously request several distant and OpenSearch compliant indexes from the same user query and display a multi-source aggregated view of the results. In the latter scenario Jahia displays its own local search index through the OpenSearch API. End users can then, for example query their intranet directly from within the search form present in their browser, without first having to access this website.
