Enable "Tab to search" in a website

I am looking for a way to enable Google Chrome's "Tab to search" feature on my website, does anyone have experience with this?

Google did not supply sufficient information for me and I am guessing this community is faster.

Much appreciated

How do I enable tabs on search?

In the search results, click the drop-down menu next to “Enable Tab Search.” Select “Enabled” to activate the feature, or select “Disabled” to disable it, removing the button from your browser toolbar. The feature is now enabled or disabled. To make your change take effect, you must click “Relaunch” at the bottom.

How do I enable tab search in Firefox?

Users must open about:config to do it, so until Mozilla feels the need to add it to Settings, this is the only way for now. OK, so type about:config in the address bar, then hit the Enter key. From there, search for Update2, then scroll down until you've seen browser. urlbar.

You have to serve an opensearch xml, and link to it in your <head> tag. See the specs here:
