Talk audio have managed to make it so if you are viewing their forum in firefox and go to the search box at the top right. There is a button to add TalkAudio search to your browser's search plugins.

I think this is something that would work really well for FF. Depending on how the FF search works would depend on how easy to implement this would be.

The tag TA use in their HTML to make it appear in the search box is:
Code: 
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="Talk Audio Forum Search" href="/ta-search.xml" />

Code: 
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="Fiat Forum Search" href="/fiatforumsearch.xml" />


Also need the XML file mentioned

Just to throw an option in if you want this fast and use IE7/8 (May work in Firefox and Chrome)

visit http://www.enhanceie.com/IE/SearchBuilder.asp

and enter
Code: 
https://www.fiatforum.com/search.php?do=process&quicksearch=1&query=TEST
 in the Search URL field (3)

Then hit install.

You'll get this snazzy result.

in opera just go here

https://www.fiatforum.com/search.php (or from the search drop down box)

right click in the search box and click 'create search'
then enter your keyphrase eg 'FF'
you now have a FF in the drop down or can search fiatforum by typing FF and your search term in the address bar
Click to expand...

Lol. I know it is possible to add it manually. I did that about a year ago.

Was just a suggestion to make it appear as an "add me" in the search dropdown when at the website, could be good for other users, and I thought it was a nice little edition when I saw it on TA
