I need help creating a custom accelerator for Amazon.com.

I used to have a custom accelerator but I reset my settings and it's now gone.

I am having the damndest time trying to recreate it.

Here is my code that I'm attempting to use:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<os:openServiceDescription
    xmlns:os="[URL]http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/openservicedescription/1.0[/URL]">
    <os:homepageUrl>http://www.amazon.com/</os:homepageUrl>
    <os:display>
        <os:name>Search Amazon</os:name>
        <os:icon>http://www.amazon.com/favicon.ico</os:icon>
        <os:description>Search Amazon.com.</os:description>
    </os:display>
    <os:activity category="Amazon">
        <os:activityAction context="selection">
            <os:execute action="[url=http://www.amazon.com/]Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more[/url]" method="get">
                <os:parameter name="s" value="{selection}" type="text" /> 
            </os:execute>
        </os:activityAction>
    </os:activity>
</os:openServiceDescription>

This gets me nowhere. I'm curious to find out what the real way to do this is? I've tried several different methods and I always continue to receive that I cannot install this accelerator.

Here you go, I've just thrown this together for you.. I've tested it and it searches Amazon correctly ;)

don't forget it has to be installed from a webpage/server, you cant install from a local folder.
