#938: WebSearch: XML output and split-by-collection
------------------------+-----------------------
Reporter: simko | Owner:

------------------------+-----------------------
Indico Search calls Invenio instance and gets results in MARCXML. The
search is being called twice, once for collection Foo and once for
collection Bar. In order to speed up the queries, it would be good to
enrich XML output with comments specifying results split by collection.
This will necessitate only one search call from Indico.
Using Invenio demo site as an exapmle, for a query like `http://invenio-
demo.cern.ch/search?p=nuclear&of=xm&sc=1`, the system can reply in
enriched markup e.g. using XML comments like:
{{{
[...]
<!-- Search-Engine-Total-Number-Of-Results: 7 -->
<!-- Search-Engine-Collection: Articles and Preprints -->
<!-- Search-Engine-Collection-Number-Of-Results: 6 -->
<record>
<controlfield tag="001">65</controlfield>
[...]
</record>
[...]
<!-- Search-Engine-Collection: Books and Reports -->
<!-- Search-Engine-Collection-Number-Of-Results: 1 -->
<record>
<controlfield tag="001">32</controlfield>
</record>
}}}
