Something I’ve been working on has been my LDSsearch.com project. LDSsearch.com is a search engine which has indexed a selection of web sites which have been identified as friendly to the LDS faith. It is good, but it fails at completely indexing all LDS content out there. However, it does provide its search results in an OpenSearch format. Now there is another site called Scripture Tag which tags verses from scriptures. I’ve talked with the developer of the site about returning the scripture tag information in an OpenSearch format. I’m also hoping that someday we can get a search engine for general conference talks which can provide its search results in an OpenSearch format.

With all these, and hopefully more, sources for topic specific information about the LDS faith, I could perform a search query for “wisdom” and the results could be all aggregated to one point. I would see websites about wisdom, scriptures which have been tagged with the word wisdom, and general conference talks which mention wisdom all together at once.

The new gospel library at LDS.org already aggregates searches by providing results from scriptures, magazines, and lessons all on one page. I hope that someday they can also provide their search data with OpenSearch, so that the data can be used in other applications and aggregated with additional content.

Wisdom is the product of the application of faith in the things we know to be true.

Maybe sometime I’ll give a more complete discussion about wisdom.
