| | I finally got around to installing Windows 7 x64 on my older WD 250 GB HD - I am impressed thus far. More about that in a different post. I've got these downloaded - now to try them out .... So, it is my understanding that the one for Windows 7 forums is still not 100% active? |

Hey JohnG, Yeah we have one, just copy and save the text from Step1 under "Create your own Personalized Search Provider" Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns:ms-ose="http://schemas.microsoft.com/opensearchext/2009/">
<ShortName>Sevenforums</ShortName>
<Description>OpenSearch SevenForums via MSN using Windows 7 Search.</Description>

<Url type="text/html" template="http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q={searchTerms}+site%3asevenforums.com&format=rss"/>
</OpenSearchDescription>  We are working on our own SevenForums Search Provider without using LiveSearch and it works but has some search result issues at the moment so the LiveSearch trick will have todo until we have a more reliable one for public release |

| | We previously touched upon how you could add Flickr Search to the Windows 7 Search Federation. dmex over at SevenForums went on to create even additional providers that you can experiment with. A few of the search providers available for download drew their sources from Youtube, Google News, and Yahoo. Of course, the one everyone wants is a Google Search implementation, but apparently, OpenSearch cannot be used with Google Search just yet. Windows 7 Center |

| | Hey guys! Great to see all this excitement around my feature  Just wanted to let you guys know that instead of hosting the OSDX file in a .zip file, you can link to it directly. If the server it's on is configured to return .OSDX files with the appropriate "application/opensearchdescription+xml" MIME type, the install will happen automatically when you click on the link! Most hosting providers provide a configuration UI to add file extensions and MIME type associations. If you can't find it, check the help documentation (probably just search for "MIME"). Happy searching! |

| | Thanks Brandon, I have now added the MIME type to the server....now to make an install button. Great feature BTW |

| | Anybody have the programming skills to make a plugin for seeqpod? They have open search implemented, and an API for retrieving results, however, instead of getting back a rss feed, it returns a xspf file (open source xml playlist format.) Windows 7 doesn't seem to recognize anything besides an rss feed, so I guess you would need to use an xsl transformation to convert the xspf to rss, but I think that should work. |
