Yes; the site can currently be accessed by federated search software via HTTP request and supports the method=”get”. For example, a search on the French-English list would use the following base URL: http://www.oxfordlanguagedictionaries.com/search/SearchDispatchPage.html?_fmt=context&_op%3Atext=field&_f%3Atext=basicSearch&direction=b-fr-en&_f%3Adirection=opp%3Adirection&go_submit=go&text=X&_start=1 Followed by text=X where X is your search term. Separate search terms should separated with the .+. sign.
