[openbeos] Firefox search plugin for Haiku-os.org

Howdy,
I have created a search plugin for haiku-os.org so that Firefox users can search the Haiku website directly from their browser. 

*** Installation ***

1) Got to www.myhaiku.org.
2) Click on the Search pull-down menu in Firefox (located by default in the upper-right hand corner, to the right of the "Go" button). 

3) Select <Add "haiku-os.org Search"> from the menu.

*** To use ***
Just select "haiku-os.org" in the Firefox search pull-down menu and use the search as usual. Your browser will return search results directly from the Haiku website. 

*** Adding the search plugin to your website/blog ***
I am make the plugin available for download for anyone to use. If you want visitors to your website/blog to be able to add this search plugin to their Firefox browser, just do as follows: 

1) Download the plugin from:

http://www.myhaiku.org/haiku/haiku-osorg.xml.zip

2) Extract "haiku-osorg.xml" from the ZIP file and place it in your server.

3) Add the following line to the <head> section of your website:
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="Search haiku-os.org" href="pluginURL"> 

...where "pluginURL" is the path to the plugin file on your server.
Visitors will now see "Add haiku-os.org Search" in their search pull-down menu when they visit your site. 

Enjoy!

Koki
PS: Please, do not link to the haiku-osorg.xml file on my server. I don't need the extra traffic. ;)
