WOT Scorecard Search Plugin

Add WOT Scorecard searches to your browser's Search [engine] Bar.

=Internet Explorer= requires IE 7

For IE 8(+) please refer to: WOT Scorecard IE Accelerator

IEblog: Adding Search providers to IE 7 using OpenSearch 1.1

MSDN Library: Search Provider Extensibility in Internet Explorer

Basically, you need to create a web page, incorporate a method for IE7 to "see" the custom search, here are a couple examples:

The following code adds the search provider by clicking a link.  &lt;a href="#" onclick="window.external.AddSearchProvider('http://www.example.com/provider.xml')"&gt;Add Search Provider Example&lt;/a&gt;

Making Search Provider Discoverable  &lt;link title="My Provider" rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="http://www.example.com/provider.xml"&gt;

Here is the required XML: &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt; - &lt;OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/"&gt; &lt;ShortName&gt;WOT&lt;/ShortName&gt; &lt;Description&gt;WOT provider&lt;/Description&gt; &lt;InputEncoding&gt;UTF-8&lt;/InputEncoding&gt; &lt;Url type="text/html" template="https://www.mywot.com/scorecard/{searchTerms}" /&gt; &lt;/OpenSearchDescription&gt;

If you're installing this locally, from your PC and not by uploading it to an online website, remove the "http://example.com/ from the anchor / link tag. Save both the HTML and the XML file in the same folder and point your browser to the local web page.

=Firefox= requires version 2.x and newer.
