Hm...

Clearly I'm biased here since Feedster has been providing search results via RSS
for > 1 year but this is interesting. Are you suggesting that other systems
standardize on the same search syntax:

>>http://www.zopezen.org/search?portal_type%3Alist=Source%20Code&sort_on=created\
&sort_order=reverse

I can agree that there's utility on the search params being the same. Although
I
think that Zope should have modeled more after Google (heck even we did).
