Adding a <link rel="search"> tag (open search)

BoomerScratch commented 4 years ago

This is used in the Scratch Wiki:

<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="/w/opensearch_desc.php" title="Scratch Wiki (en)"/>

When the user has visited the Scratch Wiki once, and then types in "en.scratch-wiki.info" in the search bar, you see something like "Press tab to search Scratch Wiki (en)". Why not add it to scratch.mit.edu?

The search can be done only on browsers using Chromium probably.

Example <link> element we can use:

<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="/opensearch.xml" title="Scratch"/>

/opensearch.xml example (got most from GitHub's opensearch.xml):

<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/">
<ShortName>Scratch</ShortName>
<Description>Search Scratch</Description>
<InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>
<Image width="16" height="16" type="image/x-icon">https://scratch.mit.edu/favicon.ico</Image>
<Url type="text/html" method="get" template="https://github.com/search/projects?q={searchTerms}"/>
<moz:SearchForm>https://scratch.mit.edu/search/projects</moz:SearchForm>
</OpenSearchDescription>

Tell me if you got any feedback! 😄
