A search plugin provides the ability to access a search engine from a web browser, without having to go to the engine's website first.
Technically, a search plugin is a small text file that tells the browser what information to send to a search engine and how the results are to be retrieved.
Formats
- OpenSearch is supported by both Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and later, and Internet Explorer 7.
- Most Gecko based browsers support search plugins using a SGML based format.
- Opera supports search plugins using its custom search.ini format.
