kez Hi everyone. I'm in the process of implementing an opensearch/atom compatable frontend for our search engine. Could someone refer me to what the "most accepted/popular" extension for sorting and filtering is?
# kez I've seen dozens of drafts, but nothing really "concrete".
# 
barnabywalters greetings kez

Loqi barnabywalters: tantek left you a message 2 weeks ago: since you wrote such a great article on getting started with microformats2, would you consider rewriting (e.g. from scratch) http://microformats.org/wiki/get-started ? Feel free to move the current/old page to /wiki/get-started-classic or something (or let me know if I can help with)
# Loqi barnabywalters: tantek left you a message 6 days, 11 hours ago: does php-mf2 support the /value-class-pattern ? I'm not seeing it work inside the first event's dt-start / dtstart of http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg
# barnabywalters what do you mean by “extension for sorting and filtering”?
# kez Well, our data is categorized: for example video, audio, documents
# kez Filtering would be useful so, the user could search for certain phrases but restrict it to certain domains of information
# kez likewise, sorting would be used for force the order that the related information was returned (ie: sort by creation_date)
# kez s/read an/read a draft/
# Loqi kez meant to say: I've read a draft http://purl.org/net/atom-ext/filter/1.0 from http://tihlde.org/~erlenha/draft-hamnaberg-opensearch-filter-00.html
# kez It looks interesting, but I doubt it's supported by any opensearch/atom clients.
# kez The goal would be to develop something, that's supported by a majority of client (webrowser, rss readers, whatever)
# barnabywalters kez: I have no idea what the most popular markup for discovering filterability is — do any tools suppport them?
# kez @barnabywalters I really don't know. Opensearch/atom is all pretty new to me.
# barnabywalters well my advice would be to not bother adding complicated+hard to maintain markup if you can’t use existing tools to verify that it’s working
# kez good point.
# barnabywalters because if it ever does get implemented it might be wrong anyway
# barnabywalters maybe find an opensearch client developer and ask them — also, Google Chrome supports opensearch, maybe see if they support any filtering standard (http://blog.coredumped.org/2012/04/opensearch-how-to-get-google-chrome-to.html)
# kez Interestingly, most major browsers support opensearch (alteast Firefox, Chrome, IE)
# kez ..but I think it's just restricted to "simple" searches.
# kez the filter and sorting come as requirements for our business logic, but it would be nice to use some sort of established "standard"
# kez ... well I'll keep looking. Thanks for the help barnabywalters
