# Search/Retrieval via URL (SRU) Support

pycsw supports the Search/Retrieval via URL search protocol implementation as per subclause 8.4 of the OpenGIS Catalogue Service Implementation Specification.

SRU support is enabled by default. HTTP GET requests must be specified with `mode=sru` for SRU requests, e.g.:

    http://localhost/pycsw/csw.py?mode=sru&operation=searchRetrieve&query=foo

See http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/simple.html for example SRU requests.
