Installable Search Engine for Assembla

It’s a shame that assembla seems not to provide any installable search engine when it’s so easy :

You need this xml file (let’s name it assembla-search.src)

<?xml version=”1.0”?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns=”http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/” xmlns:moz=”http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/”> <shortname>Assembla</shortname> <description>Assembla – Search Engine</description> <contact>info@assembla.com</contact> <inputencoding>UTF-8</inputencoding> <image type="image/x-icon" height="16" width="16">http://www.assembla.com/favicon.gif</image> <url template="http://www.assembla.com/search/search?searchfor={searchTerms}&commit=Go&search[spaces]=1&search[spaces]=0&search[flows]=1&search[flows]=0&search[wiki]=1&search[wiki]=0&search[tickets]=1&search[tickets]=0&search[job_postings]=1&search[job_postings]=0&search[scope]=mine" type="text/html" method="get" />
</opensearchdescription>

And a reference in the head tag of your pages like that :

<link rel=”search” type=”application/opensearchdescription+xml” href=”http://yourdomain/assembla-search.src” title=”Assembla – Search Engine” />

And that’s it !

This done, your users will be able to search their spaces from the search input of their browser.

For those who wants this feature right now, you just have to create on your web server (you need one) an html page containing the “link” tag, host the “assembla-search.src” file, open the page in your browser and install the search engine.
