Introduction
With the recent addition of open search plugins to Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers can now share the same search plugins!

Open Search plugins are simple files in xml format and the new standard for cross browser search plugins.

Installation
Click the install button next to the search plugin text link.
Update
We are uncertain at the time of publishing, of the best way to update an installed search plugin.
To date the best method is the removal of the search plugin file in the browser. In firefox you may do this by removing the file on disk (same name), restarting the browser and installing the plugin again.
Usage
After installation, select the search plugin from the dropdown list in the upper right hand corner of your browser and enter a search query.
Using these with eZ publish
The install buttons on this page are a custom tag which accepts the plugin url as an argument passed to the custom tag template which contains the browser form button installation javascript.
<input type="button" value="Install" onclick="javascript:window.external.AddSearchProvider('https://raw.github.com/brookinsconsulting/opensearch/master/ezc/ezpedia.xml');" />Support
Browsers
