The isc search is the wikia search results so to get as xml you would 
run the query:

http://search.isc.swlabs.org/nutchsearch?query=java%20programming&hitsPerSite=1&lang=en&hitsPerPage=10&type=xml&start=0

In fact this is the way that the re.search page works.  The re.search is 
a static html page that uses JavaScript and the JSON search results from 
the index selected and from the site search.

If you want to get the results from site search you would use the 
following url:

http://alpha.search.wikia.com:8983/solr/select/?start=0&row=20&wt=json&json.wrf=processPeople&indent=true&q=java

In this case q = query, start is the start number of docs again starting 
at 0, row is the number of rows to return, wt is the type (xml or json), 
if using json then json.wrf will allow you to specify a wrapping 
function called by the javascript, indent is whether to indent the 
return output.
