Firefox doesn't support adding file:// URLs via OpenSearch: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7a2cf04303cf6d4b684905a1af936b6da5e7ef59/toolkit/components/search/SearchEngine.jsm#384
Darn. Thanks for this add-on.
A programming language I'm using has HTML API docs with a search feature. They're accessible over the internet using the https://, but I'd like to use them offline. I have them downloaded on my computer at
file:///home/redacted/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/share/doc/rust/html/std/index.html?search=%s
. I can add the online api docs search as a search engine, but when I try to add the offline version as a search engine, I get the error "Firefox could not download the search plugin from: https://paste.mozilla.org/HVcDZkD5/raw", despite the fact that the paste.mozilla.org link contains what looks like the right stuff. I suspect there is some permission issue with the file:// protocol.pastebin text
