           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
               URL: https://www.freebsd.org/search/opensearch/
                OS: Any
            Status: New

          Priority: ---

OpenSearch
==========


Bugzilla
--------

The page does not yet mention the extension for FreeBSD Bugzilla. 


MarkMail
--------

<https://www.freebsd.org/search/opensearch/markmail.xml> 

* not found. 

For this type of engine to appear in the address bar of Firefox, it's necessary
to visit the site to be searched. Please see:

Deprecation of OpenSearch XML add-ons & current users
<https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/-/46868?u=grahamperrin>


Non-OpenSearch
==============

<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?category=search-tools&sort=recommended%2Cusers&type=extension>
redirects to 
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/category/search-tools/>. 

Better to refer to the more modern (and de-localised) form of URL: 
<https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/category/search-tools/>

In any case: a link to add-ons of this type (type: extension) no longer fits in
a page that is OpenSearch-specific. 


Generally
=========

Given the deprecation, it may be appropriate to change the URL; have a
redirect; and change the title the page, for non-OpenSearch -related content to
fit. Think of this as a minor overhaul :-)
