I was talking with John Musser today about OpenSearch and the ability to add various search engines to your browser. I had assumed there was some special sauce that made it possible to use Google/MSN/Yahoo/Wikipedia directly from your search bar, but in talking to John I discovered that it’s pretty easy to do. I was going to create one for Adobe’s developer help and get a whole lot of kudos, but we’ve already got it!

If you want to add Adobe’s community search to your browser search bar, just search for something on the Adobe community site and you should get a popup offering to add it to your browser. If you don’t, in Firefox you can just click the little down arrow in your search bar (on the right hand side) and there should be an option to add Community Help to your search bar. Easy access to help content!
