JSON access for community search results for OpenSearch

I'd like to supply an OpenSearch definition file [1] to be able to easily add our community search as a search provider to the user's favorite browser. I couldn't find a public facing API URL where I can easily pull OpenSearch compliant search results for a term to be used as the "Suggestion URL". Unfortunately the REST API search is not compliant with the expected format for OpenSearch suggestions (See [2]).

Anyone had more success? Would it be possible for Lithium to provide such endpoint?

    Hi Claudius,

     

    Have you tried posting this question on the Developer Board in the Dev Nation category? I think you may get some guidance there.

    No need to repost, I moved this to the Developer board for better exposure. :)
