Menu
When I start typing in chrome the names of the following sites:
I can hit "tab" and chrome lets me search with that site's specific search engine. What kind of HTML` do I add to a <form> to help chrome automatically detect a search box in a site I made? Can I control the keyword chosen?
I found this chrome doc talking about the feature from the user POV but not from the webmaster's. They call it "Search a specific site (tab to search)". Btw, google maps used to have this feature but recently it's died for some reason.

I finally found an explanation about chromium at http://www.chromium.org/tab-to-search
Basically you need to link to an OpenSearch description document.
<head>
<link type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" rel="search" href="url_of_osdd_file"/>
</head>
And this is the osdd file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<ShortName>Search My Site</ShortName>
<Description>Search My Site</Description>
<Url type="text/html" method="get" template="http://my_site/{searchTerms}"/>
</OpenSearchDescription>
