--- Comment #7 from Wayne Sierke <ws at au.dyndns.ws> ---
It seems a shame to abandon this without further investigation. Perhaps this
idea has been overlooked by people who could take it further because of the
current description isolating it to Firefox?

If I have understood this correctly it is actually an implementation of
OpenSearch (http://www.opensearch.org) and is supported by major browsers -
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Yandex.Browser according to: 
http://www.opensearch.org/Community/OpenSearch_search_clients

and also Safari according to:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch


At first glance it looks like it could make a useful adjunct to the current
search facilities. Perhaps with a different summary it might draw some useful
attention to at least consider how worthwhile it might be. (The only PRs I
found mentioning OpenSearch are ports-related).
