Description
Hi,
I've installed this module as per instructions on the project homepage, but nothing happens :(
There is no README documentation as to what to do with this module and what to expect.
I've looked at my root directory and there is no new xml file. Is it somewhere else?
I would like to create a button on a page, which people will click and which will add the site search to their browser search box (both in FF and IE), I thought that's what this module does. But there is no README documentation.
Please provide some guidance for the less technical people.
Thanks a lot!

I would also like documentation. I've installed the module and have the same symptoms as drupalina.
On second look, it does work but only when your in the admin menu, it disappears when on the front page and none admin pages.

The xml is generated through URL rewrite, and exists at: http://{yourdomain}/opensearch.xml
Use JavaScript like this to let users add it via click:
<a href="javascript:window.external.AddSearchProvider('http://{yourdomain}/opensearch.xml');">Add Search Provider</a>Change {yourdomain}!

Nice if it would have the cool "Add to Firefox" and Add to IE buttons like on addons.mozilla.org :)
