The RefinementManager is unforgiving if you omit whats required. Since obviously no refinement values can exist (in the case of a zero search results returned), more than likely you are missing one of the required parameters. Check to make sure you have a filter category, refinement name, and value specified. If that doesn't work try adding a count as well.

Without seeing the error message or your source its hard to see where it breaks down. Let em know how it goes and I will update the post appropriately.

I tried your sample (modified it with dummy data) but I get a NullReferenceException in the refinement webpart in the search UI.

I also tried to call RefinementManager.GetRefinementXml() in my code, but it always returns null, which is the cause of the exception in the webpart,

If I omit IRefinableRuntimeinterface the sample is great, but of course, no refiners.

Any idea what could be wrong?

When would you run this procedure and how will you know it is successful?

Good point, I just edited the posting.

Thanks for the comment cranjenny. I agree with you this 'intermediary' is exactly what I am thinking. I updated my post to include ideas to address the implementation.

While this seems like an amazing idea up front, the practicality of 'Search as a Service' doesn't seem to hold up unfortunately (yet).

Different search engines require different parameters as a general rule and, for some reason do not output to something ubiquitous like XML.

However, with an intermediary, this could change. If you had a service that spoke the language of several search engines and translated it back into one, very standardized XML output, then we'd be in business.

That would be something I'd use for sure.
