OpenSearch and Chrome Document Discovery

I'm trying to figure out how to advertise a web application search endpoint with OpenSearch (see http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1#OpenSearch_description_document ), but even my simplest example does not work. I have index.html with:

 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" dir="ltr"> <head profile="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/"> <link title="Search" rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="osdd.xml"/> </head> <body> hello </body> </html>

And osdd.xml containing:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/"> <ShortName>test</ShortName> <Description>test</Description> <Url type="text/html" template="http://example.com?q={searchTerms}"/> </OpenSearchDescription>

But nothing works. Chrome's "tab to search" behavior doesn't show up, and with the Chrome developer tools, it doesn't seem to load osdd.xml at all.

Any clues?

Downloading the osdd.xml file does not appear on the Developer Tools> Network tab.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=58801#c3 (comment 3) mentions that you need to search at least once to add a search engine.

I also found that you need to remove existing search engines from Settings> Manage Search Engines and restart the browser to see the effects of the changes in the osdd file.

Sorry to have dug this topic, but I had a similar problem and I managed to solve it, so I leave my results here if anyone finds it.

In my case, the XML file was not on UTF-8, so Chrome was not loaded correctly. Make sure your file is on UTF-8.

Hooray!
