And of [OpenSearch], a popular search federation format supported by IE7, Firefox, and quite some searchable sites/applications --Raboof 11:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Added Sesat to the list of implementations. --> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Federated_search&diff=205760004&oldid=193537898[edit]
Even though ZimZalaBim removed many of the implementations in the previous edit ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Federated_search&diff=193537898&oldid=193525054 )
i added Sesat to the list as it is an open sourced implementation, rather than just an existing federated search service available to the public to use. i think that this the "implementation" section should more clearly separated between implementations/platforms/typical-patterns and current federated search engines available. For example the references to metasearch and Google Scholar in the first paragraph of this section should also be removed.
Maybe a separate section "Examples" should be created to allow these services to be listed? Although i think this list would quickly become unwieldy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelsembwever (talk • contribs) 11:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Graphic is a mess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.211.137.26 (talk) 14:33, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
The graphic is unreadable[edit]
I came specifically to complain about the graphic on this page. I see someone made the same comment anonymously, but that was well over a year ago, so it is disheartening to realize how long this sloppy graphic has been allowed to remain uncorrected. It is simply illegible, at least to humans like me, and therefore its information value is substantially compromised. Can someone please correct or replace this graphic - and soon, not in a year or two? Natcolley (talk) 15:02, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- The new graphic as of February 2011 looks fine, I think we can call it fixed. --Avirr (talk) 02:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
