Following the tutorial(s) I posted on creating OpenSearch plug-ins for Firefox that can search Invision Power Board based forums & WordPress blogs, I received quite a few requests for help in creating such plug-ins for a wide variety of blogs/CMS/sites.
To make the job easier for all of you, I decided to create a couple of sample plug-ins, which I’ll list here as zip files. The zip will contain…
- An XML file – which contains the actual plug-in code
- A sample HTML file, which shows how to display a plug-in installation link on your site, as well as how to enable auto-discovery of the same by Firefox & IE7
Simply go through those files and replace the appropriate fields. In most cases, all you’ll need to modify is the actual URL to your site and the Author details. While setting up the plug-in at your site, feel free to put your name as the author’s name in it. No credits are required 🙂
I’ll try to cover as much ground as possible and update this list frequently. At the moment, the list isn’t so “wide” as I claimed in the title 😀 and if you don’t find a suitable plug-in here, check back at a later point of time, or just drop me a line at:
To start with, I’ll list the plug-ins I’ve received the maximum number of requests for…

Hello, I have implemented a google SiteSearch on the website mentioned, and would like to offer it as an OpenSearch plugin, all the while keeping the adsense elements that allow me to monetize the results of the search. I am sure that millions of site publishers who use adsense would love to have such a plug-in template.
I have spent some time looking for it but the closest I came is this page.
Thanks in advance for at least considering this. 🙂
Kind regards,
Jean-Michel Fontaine
I’m about to add OpenSearch to my site, these examples should come in handy.
