I’ve added an IE7 Search Provider to my Blog

It’s all pretty easy actually – if you have IE7 look in the drop down list of search
providers (top RHS) and you’ll see me smile_regular 

Dont know whether you’ll use it – but it saves me all the time when I’m out on site
and “I know I put that somewhere…..” thought comes into my head.

The way to set your own provider up:

  1. Create an XML Sample Provider file – from here 

  2. Upload the file to your blog somewhere – let’s say the root.

  3. Add the line to the top of the page
    <link rel=”search” title=”<your title>” href=”<url
    to searchProvider.xml>” type=”application/opensearchdescription+xml” />

  4. Save all and you get a nice little drop down entry like mine!

    Enjoy!
