William Hill implements Open Search

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Who says you can’t teach old dogs new tricks. Today William Hill implemented Open Search on its CMS enabled pages.

The implementation involved two steps, added an additional link tag to each pages header.

<link
  rel="search" 
  type="application/opensearchdescription+xml"
  title="William Hill Online"
  href="http://www.williamhill.com/opensearch/">

This references the OpenSearchDescription document. Now any compatiable browser (Firefox) can add this search engine as a content source. Excellent.

As far as I can see William Hill is the only bookmarker to offer a search feature.

American ‘Intelligent Design’ text book published

Every time I read about the nonsense in American about trying to force out Evolution from the science class it makes me cringe.

Ars Technica has a great review of the text book being put forward by the ID movement. They find it to be without evidence or basic logically arguments.
