OpenSearch support

Imported From: http://groups.google.com/group/in-portal-dev/browse_thread/thread/735947eeea985077#

Recently I've accidentally pressed TAB when typing a website address. And my Google Chrome browser displayed site-specific search form, that allowed me search data on that site even without visiting it.

For example you place following link:

<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="http://www.website.com/opensearch.php" title="description_here" />

Then you provide that "opensearch.php" file, that contains OpenSearch settings, to be used by browser (or any program, that supports open search):

<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
	<ShortName>Company</ShortName>
	<Description>Company Search</Description>
	<Contact/>
	<Url type="text/html" template="http://www.website.com/index.php?story={searchTerms}&do=search&subaction=search"/>
	<LongName>Company Search</LongName>
	<Image height="64" width="64" type="image/png">http://www.website.com/logo.png</Image>
	<Image height="16" width="16" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon">http://www.website.com/favicon.ico</Image>
	<Developer>Company (http://www.website.com)</Developer>
	<Attribution>Copyright 2007-2011 Company.</Attribution>
	<SyndicationRight>open</SyndicationRight>
	<AdultContent>false</AdultContent>
	<Language>ru-ru</Language>
	<OutputEncoding>windows-1251</OutputEncoding>
	<InputEncoding>windows-1251</InputEncoding>
</OpenSearchDescription>

And it works.

Here are specifications: http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1

I think, that it will be good for In-Portal to have it. No additional programming needed, only create XML file with a set of settings.
