The following example shows the results from a directory smith query and the directory items for
William Smith and Bill Smith. The tag contains the information sent from the
provider for the search results:

Transforming XML to HTML
You can transform the XML results into HTML by means of an XSLT stylesheet template.
The elements (see the element “MODULE_RESULT” on page 28) are available for both external
and internal OneBox provider.
The elements provide data about the results from a provider, and you can specify parameters
to improve the display of the results data. In the directory example, the provider sends the search
appliance two results and title display information:
• The title is a clickable URL with the text “13 results in the ACME directory.”
• An icon image makes the results stand out as directory entries.
• The two results are directory listing results, including a display name, first name, last name, phone
number, email address, and link to an image of the employee.
The element’s name attribute provides the information for the OneBox.
