x/pkgsite: OpenSearch not recognized by Firefox 116.0

[Merovius]

What is the URL of the page with the issue?

https://pkg.go.dev/

What is your user agent?

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0

Screenshot

What did you do?

Right-click on the address bar in Firefox

What did you expect to see?

An Option to add pkg.go.dev as a search engine to Firefox.

This works with other pages (like Wikipedia or YouTube) but not with pkg.go.dev. I'm not entirely sure, but I think I actually did that not very long ago, when first setting up Firefox, but I had to reset my profile and now it doesn't. I can't imagine how it would've done that, but if my memory is correct, the timing would implicate this commit.

What did you see instead?

No such option.

Was that maybe via the search form, i.e.

[Merovius]

The "Add a Keyword for this Search" behaves somewhat differently - it creates a bookmark with a search query, instead of registering a search engine. That means a) you have to put that bookmark somewhere and b) it doesn't have the same interactivity as a search engine.

So, maybe that was it? Though I don't really think so. But either way - I'd prefer pkgsite to support the actual OpenSearch integration.

Thanks for pointing this out. I agree this would be good to support. Added Help Wanted, as this looks small but not entirely trivial, and we may not get to it soon.
