תיאור

Browsers can learn how to search a website if the site tells them. This plugin adds that information to your WordPress site, in the form of an OpenSearch description document.

Once activated, visitors can add your site as a search engine in their browser, or the browser picks it up on its own. Typing a keyword and a search term into the address bar then searches your site instead of the web.

There is nothing to configure. Install it, activate it, done.

What visitors get

Chrome and Edge: your site shows up under "Site search" in the browser settings. After activating it there, visitors type your domain, hit Tab and search your site. Chrome calls this "Tab to Search".
Firefox: the address bar offers to add your site as a search engine. Visitors can also right click the address bar and pick "Add" (OpenSearch in Firefox).
Safari: with "Quick Website Search" enabled, Safari remembers your site after the first search and offers it in the address bar.
Search suggestions: while typing, the browser can show suggestions. The plugin uses your tags for that.
Your site icon is used as the icon of the search engine, if you have one set under Appearance > Customize > Site Identity.

What the plugin adds

The OpenSearch description document at /wp-json/opensearch/1.1/document
A suggestions endpoint at /wp-json/opensearch/1.1/suggestions?s=…
Autodiscovery links in the HTML head and in the Atom and RSS feeds
A search provider entry in the web app manifest, for the "search_provider" WebExtension setting
Links in host-meta and WebFinger, if those plugins are installed
Search URLs for the Atom and RSS search responses and the OpenSearch Suggestions extension

שאלות נפוצות

How do I check that it works?

Open https://yoursite.com/wp-json/opensearch/1.1/document in your browser. You should see a short XML file with the name of your site and the search URLs.

Does it change the search on my site?

No. The plugin only describes the search you already have. The browser sends visitors to your normal search results page.

Chrome does not offer my site for "Tab to Search"

Chrome no longer adds sites on its own. Go to chrome://settings/searchEngines, look for your site under "Inactive shortcuts" and activate it. Edge works the same way under edge://settings/searchEngines.

Where do the suggestions come from?

From your tags. Other plugins can change that with the open_search_document_suggestions filter.

Can I add query params to the search URLs?

Yes, with the osd_search_url_template filter. The second argument tells you which search URL is filtered: html, atom or rss2.

function custom_osd_extend( $url, $type ) {
    return add_query_arg( 'mtm_campaign', 'opensearch', $url );
}
add_filter( 'osd_search_url_template', 'custom_osd_extend', 10, 2 );

What are the tags in the document?

The Tags element lists the ten most used tags of your site, as keywords for the search engine. Sites without tags get WordPress blog. The osd_tags filter lets you change the list.

Can I add more elements to the document?

Yes. The osd_xml action runs inside the document, right before the closing tag. The osd_ns action lets you add namespaces to the root element.

Thanks for this nifty plugin! Perfect! You might want to add some documentation since it's very hidden how it works. 1) After activating the plugin, a <link rel="search"> tag is added to the header of your webpages. 2) This link points to https://domain.com/wp-json/opensearch/1.1/document and produces an XML document. 3) This document.osdx contains the OpenSearch specification for your website. 4) An additional use case, is downloading this file to your Windows machine. Then you can double-click it to install a search connector to Windows. This lets you search your own website directly from your Windows and Explorer search bars. Just type the first letters of your website name to get it going! Best, Marc

Plugin works exactly as it should. I was looking for a plugin that activates on the web in google chrome search using the TAB key. Thanks a lot.
