Open Search
Matthias PfefferleThe plugin creates an OpenSearch Document for your blog.
It supports Google Chromes “Tab to Search” and “search_provider” WebExtension, Firefox’ “OpenSearch plugins”, Safaris “Quick Website Search”, and “custom searches” for Microsofts Edge browser.
From the spec:
Search clients can use OpenSearch description documents to learn about the public interface of a search engine. These description documents contain parameterized URL templates that indicate how the search client should make search requests. Search engines can use the OpenSearch response elements to add search metadata to results in a variety of content formats.
Other integrations and extensions:
- Extension links for HTML, Atom and RSS
- Autodiscovery via XRDS-Simple, host-meta and WebFinger
- RSS and Atom search responses
- OpenSearch Suggestions extension
Chromes “Tab to Search” is now an opt-in feature. Go to chrome://settings/searchEngines
, search for your Website and press the “Activate” button.
You can add custom params to the search URL using the osd_search_url_template
filter.
function custom_osd_extend( $url, $type ) {
$url = add_query_arg( 'mtm_campaign', 'opensearch', $url );
return $url;
}
add_filter( 'osd_search_url_template', 'custom_osd_extend', 10, 2 );
Works perfectly well (and completely hidden as expected)

https://domain.com/wp-json/opensearch/1.1/document
and produces an XML document.
3) This document.osdx contains the OpenSearch specification for your website.
4) An additional use case, is downloading this file to your Windows machine. Then you can double-click it to install a search connector to Windows. This lets you search your own website directly from your Windows and Explorer search bars. Just type the first letters of your website name to get it going!
Best,
Marcthanks for the update, why not used on more webpages?
