If a website supports it, the browser will take note and offer the user to install the website as a search machine.</p> <p>One especially nice aspect of it is, that OpenSearch can be implemented in just a few lines of code. It was thus easy to bring to both the frontend of museum-digital and musdb, to make searching objects right from the browser’s search bar possible, just as you can quickly search Wikipedia or Amazon on many browsers by default.</p> <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"> <p><img src="https://blog.museum-digital.org/2020/06/05/opensearch-search-museum-digital-directly-from-the-browsers-search-bar/./OpenSearch-md-Frontend-1-1024x558.png" alt="" /><figcaption>At the top right, next to the search (loupe) symbol, there appears a green “+” …</figcaption></figure></p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"> <p><img src="https://blog.museum-digital.org/2020/06/05/opensearch-search-museum-digital-directly-from-the-browsers-search-bar/./OpenSearch-md-Frontend-Focus-1.png" alt="" /><figcaption>… clicking on the search symbol offers installing the instance of museum-digital as a search provider.</figcaption></figure></p> </figure> <p>Since musdb does not feature a simple, unqualified search function (one always needs to specify, whether one searches for a tag, place, etc.), OpenSearch offers using the full text search on musdb.</p> <div class="my-4 flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-(--admonition-bg)" style="--admonition-bg: var(--admonition-info);" > <div class="flex items-center rounded-t-lg bg-(--admonition-bg) p-1"> <div class="mx-2 h-4 w-4 text-[0px] [background:var(--url)_center_center_no-repeat] dark:invert" style="--url: url(icons/info.svg);" > info </div> <span><strong>License</strong></span> </div> <div class="pl-4"><p>This content is licensed under a <a rel="external" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license</a>.</p> </div> </div> https://blog.museum-digital.org/2020/06/05/opensearch-search-museum-digital-directly-from-the-browsers-search-bar/Opernglas-mit-schwarz-weißem-Perlmutter.jpg
