The rss.search webservice in geonetwork always returns 10 records even
when I specify a from/to parameter.

Also, how does one activate the portal.opensearch service : --

Hi Sean, the opensearch service is just a gateway to the rss search
service of GeoNetwork. You need to have a look to the rss.search params.

If you want to display more items, use the hitsPerPage param.

So you can edit the opensearch xsl to set a default number of hitsPerPage.

I think there's no way to use the from and to parameters easily with
rss.search. Maybe you need a two steps approach :
- first do a rss.search
- then a rss.present using the from, to params.
(not tested).
