7.2.9 Optional Nature of Search-specific Url Template Fields (Required)
Optional placeholders for search-specific attributes can be specified by adding ‘?’ to the end of the search term, e.g., http://example.com/search/{instrument?}.
However the search-specific attributes themselves are not considered themselves to be part of the specification. Also, such attributes MUST be optional; required search-specific terms that are not spelled out in the ESIP OpenSearch specification render the associated search service non-compliant with that convention.
