Description
Instead of showing a notification when OpenSearch plugins are available on a page, always have an option in the SearchBar to add a search plugin. When no OpenSearch is available, create a keyword search or use Google Site Specific search.

Goals / Use Cases

  • Always provide the ability to add a search engine for a specific site
  • If an engine isn't available, search the content for input[@type="search"] or use a configurable default search engine (i.e. Google; using their site: query)
  • Enable quick access to site specific search without the need to permanently add a search engine

Non Goals

  • Automatically installing/caching engines discovered on the web (a la chrome)

Design

  • New menu item in the engine drop down to allow a specific site search to be added permanently
  • Keyboard shortcut to allow temporary use of the engine
    • Remove the engine and switch back to the previously selected one once the search is complete
