IE7 and OpenSearch: Behind the scenes

I'm a fan of Safari and Mozilla, but seeing Internet Explorer doing something that benefits everyone, is an open standard and easy for everyone to adopt - that's just great!

I was exposed to the OpenSearch interface by some other Library developers (code4lib) & am already planning on adding support to our applications. The spec looks great & should be pretty easy to implement.

BTW, having this integrate so nicely into IE7 is a major bonus & certainly helps with project justification.

while talking about standards..... the css gods require another post about the status of css...we're getting restless.

And will ie7 upload jpgs as dumb image/pjpeg or the more sensible image/jpeg like everyone else does?

Dewitt Clinton blogged about the 1.1 spec on the A9 blog. Check it out at http://blog.a9.com/blog/2005/09/13/opensearch-11-draft/

Also, the draft of the OpenSearch 1.1 Description Document is at http://opensearch.a9.com/spec/opensearchdescription/1.1/

I can attest to everything Amar said above -- working together with Microsoft on this project has been fantastic. We traded ideas back and forth and everything just fell into place from there.

That trip was my first time back on Microsoft campus in several years, and it was great to be back up in the Pacific Northwest again. In particular, I was very impressed with the Internet Explorer team -- not only were they on top of what the users really wanted (no easy task, when your "user" spans the gamut from a teenager in Omaha to a computer scientist in Beijing), but they were also simply nice guys to sit down and work with. IE users are in for a real treat.

Cheers,

I know this is offtopic, but will IE7 soon have better RSS support? Such as, the ability for IE to check a RSS feed and notify a user when it's updated like most other RSS readers do? [I would perfer it to be a option apon adding it to your favorites, default off so users don't complain. ;)]

I noticed Beta 1 can read and display RSS in a nice format, but I'm missing the notifier. :)

Beta2 arrival time

This seems like a good technology, and I will be happy to see MS implement it as long as the implementation sticks to the open standard, thus allowing other vendors the opportunity implement the same standard to the best of their ability.

It's good to see Internet Explorer becoming more open - it was a shame when MS started implementing closed interfaces because it created a fractured web - other couldn't implement these interfaces without guesswork or reverse engineering. I applaud the new attitude, and, as a beta tester for Vista and IE7, I look forward to beta testing the next release.

However, you'll need to do a lot if you're going to stop me using Firefox. :)

Michael:

The RSS features you're looking for in IE are coming in Beta 2. Keep an eye on the RSS team blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/rssteam) and this blog for details. :)

Scott was a PM on the IE team for a number of years. I worked with him later as a peer on the MSN Premium client (he managed the PM team for the browser & frame functionality, I managed the dev team).

I respect his opinions, so I read his blog and his comments on both IE and Firefox with interest. I hope he'll like what we're doing with IE7. If not, well, there's always IE8.

Browser integration of search

Ineresting post on the Amazon Web Services Blog:Microsoft's IE blog is reporting on the behind the scenes efforts which lead up to the recent announcement that IE7 will support A9.com's OpenSearch interface. You can read even more about this on the A9 blog. [Amazon Web Services Blog: Behind the Scenes at Microsoft, A9, and Amazon]And the IE Blog's view of why this is important: It's been a lot of fun working with A9. But, this is just the beginning. The OpenSearch spec occupies a special place because it intersects 3 important communities - browser, search and RSS. We want to hear from all of you. My dream is that OpenSearch is adopted by all the browsers and millions of sites (Internet and Intranets) and that a significant percentage of these sites also expose RSS.

As reported by the Amazon Web Services Blog and the IEBlog there have been some behind the scenes efforts between the Microsoft IE7 development team and their colleagues at Amazon's A9 to roll Opensearch capability into the next IE release....

Search at a page level could do with some fixing. On two different machines I have tried going to http://blogs.msdn.com/Bloggers.aspx?GroupID=2 which is quite a large page and then using IE's Find on this page functionality. On both machines IE hangs, the find box becomes unresponsive and IE consumes 100% CPU. Could this search behaviour be async and cancellable if it's going to take a while.

For Vista are there any plans to prevent any process from consuming 100% CPU? This is a frequent reliability problem I run into on all XP machines I use where I have to wait while the machine responds enough to allow me to use task manager to shut down the rouge process.
