collective.opensearch 1.0

Collective Opensearch Collective.opensearch adds the ability to produce search results in the simple OpenSearch format.

Project Description
===================

collective.opensearch adds the possibility to read and write OpenSearch
compatible search results in your Plone site.

OpenSearch is a collection of simple formats for the sharing of search results.

OpenSearch helps search engines and search clients communicate by
introducing a common set of formats to perform search requests
and syndicate search results.
The OpenSearch description document format can be used to describe a
search engine so that it can be used by search client applications.
The OpenSearch response elements can be used to extend existing
syndication formats, such as RSS and Atom, with the extra metadata
needed to return search results.

collective.opensearch enables you to syndicate the search results of
your plone site by formatting them in the RSS or Atom formats,
augmented with OpenSearch response elements.

collective.opensearch adds a view to the link type that lets you search
OpenSearch (or other searches that return RSS or Atom so any plone site)
compatible search providers within your site. When you add a link with an
open search url this view will be automatically set.

To search e.g. plone.org from your site add a search feed with the url: ::

http://plone.org/search_rss?SearchableText={searchTerms}

You can combine several open search links as a metasearch. All OpenSearch links
inside a folder will be queried and their results displayed when you change
the view of a folder to 'Open Search View'

Detailed Documentation

Introduction
============

This is a full-blown functional test. The emphasis here is on testing what
the user may input and see, and the system is largely tested as a black box.
We use PloneTestCase to set up this test as well, so we have a full Plone site
to play with. We *can* inspect the state of the portal, e.g. using
self.portal and self.folder, but it is often frowned upon since you are not
treating the system as a black box. Also, if you, for example, log in or set
roles using calls like self.setRoles(), these are not reflected in the test
browser, which runs as a separate session.

Being a doctest, we can tell a story here.

First, we must perform some setup. We use the testbrowser that is shipped
with Five, as this provides proper Zope 2 integration. Most of the
documentation, though, is in the underlying zope.testbrower package.

>>> from Products.Five.testbrowser import Browser
>>> browser = Browser()
>>> portal_url = self.portal.absolute_url()

The following is useful when writing and debugging testbrowser tests. It lets
us see all error messages in the error_log.

>>> self.portal.error_log._ignored_exceptions = ()

With that in place, we can go to the portal front page and log in. We will
do this using the default user from PloneTestCase:

>>> from Products.PloneTestCase.setup import portal_owner, default_password

Because add-on themes or products may remove or hide the login portlet, this test will use the login form that comes with plone.

>>> browser.open(portal_url + '/login_form')
>>> browser.getControl(name='__ac_name').value = portal_owner
>>> browser.getControl(name='__ac_password').value = default_password
>>> browser.getControl(name='submit').click()

Here, we set the value of the fields on the login form and then simulate a
submit click. We then ensure that we get the friendly logged-in message:

>>> "You are now logged in" in browser.contents
True

Finally, let's return to the front page of our site before continuing

>>> browser.open(portal_url)
