Opensearch added (Browser search option)


Recommended Posts

Following a suggestion by bangbang023 we added this just now.

Supports most newer browsers, you'll see the search area (drop down) change color meaning you could add Neowin as a Search choice.

Enjoy!

It only changed colour for me in the main page, in case someone says it doesn't work in the forums. The search WILL work, but you must go to the main page to get it detected for addition in your browser. After that, it searches the whole site, forum and all.

Indeed, we'll probably add it to the forums as well when we go through the upgrade process to IPB 2.2

yarr neobond is this based on https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=515974

EDIT co_co try the one on they page, that defiantly works

ste

Sort of, except this one is hosted by us and will let you install directly from our frontpage.

Thanks to all the guys who got this working. TheDecyptor fixed an error in my original file and DaveLegg and Marshalus both worked ot get it up on the site. I have to admit, OpenSearch is so much better than the old Firefox search engine format.

Oh yeah, it's great OpenSearch was adopted by both IE and Firefox (although Firefox has some changes), i really would love to see it supported in every browser. :yes:

I don't know if it would be integrated into Opera. Every time I ask in the IRC channel or forum, the thread kinda dies :/.

This is just a little something that makes you like a browser just a bit more (I have a little more respect for IE7 just because of this ability).

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
