I'll have to play w/ it later. Nevermind, found the link to submit, but i’m getting a NullPointerException error when I submit my file, even though it’s been validated as correct XML..

I wasn't able to find where to submit my site to A9.com - can you point me in the right direction? The developers page says you <em>can</em> submit your site, but doesn't have a link or anything to allow you to...?

I see that you have a couple of nutch: elements. Those aren't part of OpenSearch and thus won't be used, but leaving them in there won't hurt anything. You should be able to use a regular RSS feed validator to make sure everything looks right, but my quick examination looks good. Do you have an OpenSearch description file? The one for LDSsearch.com is at http://ldssearch.com/opensearchdesc.xml, but you can start with something more simple. See http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1#OpenSearch_description_document Once you have the description file, you can start playing around with A9.com, which will let you test it before you actually subscribe it to their directory of search sources.

Like ldssearch.com, it also takes the 'start' and 'hitsPerPage' variables. Did I do this correctly? This opensearch stuff is all new to me.. I’ve created an opensearch page for my site, here:
