# OpenSearch Support

pycsw supports the OGC OpenSearch Geo and Time Extensions 1.0 standard via the following conformance classes:

- Core (GeoSpatial Service) `{searchTerms}`, `{geo:box}`
- Temporal Search core `{time:start}`, `{time:end}`

OpenSearch support is enabled by default. HTTP requests must be specified with `mode=opensearch` in the base URL for OpenSearch requests, e.g.:

    http://localhost/pycsw/csw.py?mode=opensearch&service=CSW&version=2.0.2&request=GetCapabilities

This will return the Description document which can then be autodiscovered.
