I presume you looked in the Wiki. See:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/OpenSearch

There is also an example in the extension folder - web-api-config-custom.xml.sample.

In addition there is also David Caruana's blog entry on OpenSearch at:
http://blogs.alfresco.com/davidc/
and John Newton's blog entry at:

A related forum post is:

Hopefully someone else can help you with your SOAP query, I'm only familiar with the cleaning variety.

I have added a search engine in web-api-config-custom.xml and it's listed as a registred search engine: http://<host>:<port>/alfresco/service/search/engines but it's not avaliable in the dashboard och sidebar. The response format is html, does it need to be atom or rss?

Yes, it must be either atom or rss.

I downloaded the platform independent version of the alfreso 2.1 RC1 and the 'extension ' folder is missing from the build. Adding these missing xml files with a new engine does nothing. Is there something else I need to do to activate this functionality? Is this configuration now living somewhere else?
