            Bug ID: 11994
           Summary: Add option for installing a search plugin for Koha
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: OPAC
          Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org
          Reporter: katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de
        QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org

One of our libraries has asked about a search plugin for Koha and I did some
experimenting. The needed xml could look something like this:

<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns=3D"http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<ShortName>Short name</ShortName>
<Description>Longer description</Description>
<InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>
<Url type=3D"text/html" method=3D"GET"
template=3D"yourbaseurlforkoha/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=3D{searchTerms}"=
/>
</OpenSearchDescription>

I also found different options to make this visible to the user:

A link using Javascript, similar to what Bugzila itself offers on the start
page:

<a href=3D"javascript:window.external.AddSearchProvider('URL for xml
file')">Search Plugin</a>

This seems to work nicely in Firefox and IE.

Another option is using a link tag in the header. This will offer to install
the plugin when you open the pull down of your search targets. It seems to on=
ly
work in Firefox and not in IE.

<link rel=3D"search" type=3D"application/opensearchdescription+xml" title=3D"=
..."
href=3D"http://...xml" />

Example: http://swb2.bsz-bw.de/

I thought maybe it would be nice to offer a plugin by default, using Koha's
OpacBaseURL and LibraryName system preferences to fill out the required field=
s.=20

This could be helpful for libraries with hosted Koha solutions that don't have
the option to create an .xml file and store it on a web server themselves.

The URL to the favicon could be taken from Koha's system preferences as well:

<Image height="16" width="16"
type="image/x-icon">http://example.com/favicon.ico</Image>
