How to create a OpenSearch reference for your site (as used by Firefox 2's search box) (See related posts)

Create a file like this one as used for Wikipedia, but that refers to your own site's search:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<ShortName>Wikipedia (English)</ShortName>
<Description>Wikipedia (English)</Description>
<Image height="16" width="16" type="image/x-icon">http://en.wikipedia.org/favicon.ico</Image>
<Url type="text/html" method="get" template="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&amp;search={searchTerms}"/>
<Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" method="GET" template="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&amp;search={searchTerms}"/>
</OpenSearchDescription>


Then link to it from your pages like so:

<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="/w/opensearch_desc.php" title="Wikipedia (English)" />
