increasing whitespace on a page using opensearch

Posted by jonathan - 03/01/08 at 02:01:49 pm

Having not posted about tech in ages and wanting to add some special sauce to my current day-time site, I went back to adding an opensearch provider. My corporate gig in an enterprise tool which requires as much screen space as I can take. Therefore, I wanted to refactor search to pull the global search box off the page and move it into the browser.
After some googling (here and here and here), I thought about creating an opensearch generator, but as usual I was beaten to it here. Its these little focused tech sites that I love.

Basically, the opensearch provider can be broken down into two components.

  1. xml file that defines the search info to the browser
  2. link that tells the browser the search provider xml file exists
