I am currently designing a search function for an application. The search has many parts to it such as allowing the user to designing the results they receive from their search in the format they want. I also want to allow external applications to pass search requests to the app and have results sent back. The issue I have is the 'resources' a person can search on can change on a daily basis as well as the fields of those resources. I want to use XML for the search so I can build one 'search engine' that can process an internal' search request as well as a request sent by an external source. I think if everything is done in XML now it will help later if we move the external search to a web service. If anybody has some experience with this sort of thing, maybe you could point me in the right direction or if someone knows of a tutorial or book I can look at, it will be greatly appreciated.
