No unless someone tells me how to include it.  Hover text perhaps?  I await 
the suggestion cases with trepidation and a deep seated
sense of foreboding......

I don't think so.  I have yet to find useful keywords, but someone (I think 
it was from SURFnet) mentioned on Sunday that they did
find it useful, typing in "medical" to get a list of universities providing 
medical degrees.  I don't think this would work in the
UK, but YMMV.

It's in the dropdown list and is of debatable value (indeed I expect to see a 
suggestion that this is suppressible).  Try going to
my test EDS https://dlib-adidp.ucs.ed.ac.uk:442/studio/ and ask for "login".  
Then type in "Car" or "edi" to see an examples.

It's there already via an prototype api which is liable to change but which 
I'll share with people who need it.  To look at an
example skin go to 

https://sh2testsp1.iay.org.uk/

and ask for "Rod's discovery service".  

Note the use of SP & IdP logos.  The skinning (which has a whole bunch of 
other stuff) is under Apache 2 license and you can look at
them at: 

http://steadingsoftware.net/hg/hgweb.cgi/JanetDS/

I would imagine that the next version of the CDS (whenever that happens and 
no there are no plans)  will come in to line with
whatever the IdP at that point is offering by way plugin support - so right 
now it would be taglibs.
