Steven P. Administrators Posted December 11, 2006 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2006 Following a suggestion by bangbang023 we added this just now. Supports most newer browsers, you'll see the search area (drop down) change color meaning you could add Neowin as a Search choice. for Firefox for Internet Explorer 7 Enjoy!

Joel Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 It only changed colour for me in the main page, in case someone says it doesn't work in the forums. The search WILL work, but you must go to the main page to get it detected for addition in your browser. After that, it searches the whole site, forum and all.

Indeed, we'll probably add it to the forums as well when we go through the upgrade process to IPB 2.2 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/520593-opensearch-added-browser-search-option/#findComment-588127886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceDogg Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Oh this is great. It's so good I added the search bar back into Firefox. Something I haven't used in ages. THANKS!

bangbang023 Veteran Posted December 11, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 11, 2006 Thanks to all the guys who got this working. TheDecyptor fixed an error in my original file and DaveLegg and Marshalus both worked ot get it up on the site. I have to admit, OpenSearch is so much better than the old Firefox search engine format.

halcyoncmdr Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Ah my love of Opera never ends, I've had something like this since I joined, but it's nice now that when I'm using IE7 or FF2 for something I have this option. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/520593-opensearch-added-browser-search-option/#findComment-588128741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryne Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I wish Opera supported OpenSearch. I just have to add it myself I guess. Thanks for adding this though :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/520593-opensearch-added-browser-search-option/#findComment-588128750 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, it's great OpenSearch was adopted by both IE and Firefox (although Firefox has some changes), i really would love to see it supported in every browser. :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/520593-opensearch-added-browser-search-option/#findComment-588129222 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I ask in the IRC channel or forum, the thread kinda dies :/. This is just a little something that makes you like a browser just a bit more (I have a little more respect for IE7 just because of this ability).

Tomi Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Interesting. :) Of course, I never use the search bar (so I have it removed), but it's a great idea for those who do. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/520593-opensearch-added-browser-search-option/#findComment-588129305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
