title: Have your WebSite recognized as a Search Engine by Chrome
body: <p>If I start typing stackov.. in Chrome I can see something like <em>'Press Tab to search
   stackoverflow.com'</em>. </p>
  
  <p>SO is basically recognized as a Search Engine.<br>
  Do you have any idea of how to implement the same sort of <a href="http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=95653" rel="noreferrer">feature</a> in our WebApp?</p>
  
  <p>I think it should be related with <a href="http://www.opensearch.org/Home" rel="noreferrer">OpenSearch</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="Stack Overflow" href="http://sstatic.net/so/opensearch.xml"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
  
  <p><strong>edit</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>I think it should be just a matter of specifing an xml defined in this way (<a href="http://sstatic.net/so/opensearch.xml" rel="noreferrer">http://sstatic.net/so/opensearch.xml</a>)</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/"
  
                         xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/"&gt; 
    &lt;ShortName&gt;Stack Overflow&lt;/ShortName&gt; 
    &lt;Description&gt;Search stackoverflow.com for answers to your programming questions&lt;/Description&gt; 
    &lt;InputEncoding&gt;UTF-8&lt;/InputEncoding&gt; 
    &lt;Image width="16" height="16" type="image/x-icon"&gt;http://stackoverflow.com/favicon.ico&lt;/Image&gt; 
    &lt;Url type="text/html" method="get" template="http://stackoverflow.com/search?q={searchTerms}"&gt;&lt;/Url&gt; 
  &lt;/OpenSearchDescription&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and this is the <em>URL</em> that will be used. </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://stackoverflow.com/search?q={searchTerms}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em>searchTerms</em> will be populated with the string you typed-in in chrome</p>
