OpenSearch is something we're eager to explore with mapufacture.
We've dipped our toe in the water and created an opensearch description
for firefox. At any mapufacture.com page, you can add mapufacture
search to the search toolbar. 

To search spatially, use the format "Something" in "Somewhere".
For example, "rain in england"
http://mapufacture.com/feed/search/keyword/rain+in+england

Your results may vary..

The Somewhere part is geocoded via the Geonames API, and
the Something is searched for within GeoRSS items in that region.


Also related to recent threads, we'll soon be changing the tagline of mapufacture
from "the GeoRSS aggregator" to something less format specific, since it'll start 
aggregating and searching KML, geo microformats, and anything else we can 
get around to coding.
