Hi,
I'm currently looking at the search engine configuration and how to add remote repositories and I was wondering if it's possible to add Google, or Yahoo or any popular search engine into the mix on the OpenSearch list. The packaged example adds openTalk.
So I thought , what about Google then?

My web-api-config-custom.xml

  <!– register the proxy engine –>
            <engine label="Google"  proxy="google">

               <url type="application/rss+xml">
               </url>

               <url type="application/atom+xml">

               </url>

            </engine>


         <proxy> 

        <!–  URL of Search Engine proxy –>

          <url>
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/search/engine/google/atom?as_q=alfresco
         </url>
         </proxy>

I've obviously misunderstood the documentation on this.
Is it possible to search on Google (or other search engines) as well ? Has anyone done it?

Thanks in advance

Almost there.

You can plug-in any url addressable search engine that returns atom or rss - html response is not supported.  Here are some examples:

            <engine label="Yahoo UK News" proxy="yahooUKNews">
               <url type="application/rss+xml">
                  http://uk.news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p={searchTerms}
               </url>
            </engine>
            
            <engine label="Yahoo Search" proxy="yahoo">
               <url type="application/rss+xml">
                  http://api.search.yahoo.com/WebSearchService/rss/webSearch.xml?appid=yahoosearchwebrss&query={searchTerms}&start={startIndex?}&results={count?}
               </url>
            </engine>

            <engine label="Wikipedia Search" proxy="wikipedia">
               <url type="application/rss+xml">
                  http://api.search.yahoo.com/WebSearchService/rss/webSearch.xml?appid=yahoosearchwebrss&query={searchTerms}&site=wikipedia.org&start={startIndex?}&results={count?}
               </url>
            </engine>
            
            <engine label="Yahoo Image Search" proxy="yahooImage">
               <url type="application/rss+xml">
                  http://api.search.yahoo.com/ImageSearchService/rss/imageSearch.xml?appid=yahoosearchwebrss&query={searchTerms}&start={startIndex?}&results={count?}
               </url>
            </engine>
