== Koha Search ==
# Here's a Koha already set up we can use - http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org
# Koha uses an open standard from the US [http://loc.gov Library of Congress] called [http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/ SRU] - Search/Retrieval by URL.
# Using the [http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/ Z39.50] [http://explain.z3950.org/ Explain] protocol, we can "self-discover" the Koha catalog search interface.

http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org:9998/?version=1.1&operation=explain

This tells you that the db you want to query is biblios. So you can do something like this
http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org:9998/biblios?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=fish

Which will give you back the number of results: <zs:numberOfRecords>178</zs:numberOfRecords>

Then you can grab records 5 and 6, in Dublin Core, like this:
http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org:9998/biblios?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=fish&startRecord=5&maximumRecords=2&recordSchema=dc
