The federated search portlet available at www.objectspot.org has been updated. Besides a few bugfixes, it now includes search results ranking, repository statistics, monitoring features, spell checking for keywords, and more.

ObjectSpot aims to connect various distributed learning object repositories to provide the user with federated search results. Simply submit your search request and see how results start pouring in. The tooltips of the repository nodes display the current search status, left-clicking on a node shows you the repository location, right-clicking shows recent search statistics.

The repositories are connected utilizing the Simple Query Interface (SQI). We encourage you to connect your own SQI target of your learning repository by filling out this form.
