TL;DR please visit https://ponsfrilus.github.io/searchplugins/
A collection of search plugins for EPFL using OpenSearch hosted on GitHub pages.
Please read the MDN documentation.
Theses plugins were hosted on http://mycroftproject.com, but it become more difficult to manage them, so this repository was created.
Last but not least, the auto-discovery of OpenSearch is no longer working with Google Chrome (see this stackoverflow).
While it sould be built on push with GitHub actions, you can generate the plugins' XML files and the HTML that reference them by hand, running:
node index.jsIt takes data from list.json and output plugins XML files in the opensearch directory.
Please run node index.js --help to see available options.
The plugins list stands in the list.json file. When adding a new
search plugin, name, shortName, description, contact, image,
searchURL and searchQueryURL have to be set.
When possible, search engines should offer a 16x16 image of type "image/x-icon" or "image/vnd.microsoft.icon" (the Microsoft ICO format) and a 64x64 image of type "image/jpeg" or "image/png".
Each icons of this repo has a epfl-search-service.svg image, in the
img directory. Use this [svg] image to generate the 16×16 image of
type image/x-icon and a 64×64 image of image/png. It's pretty easy with
imagemagick:
convert -background transparent -resize 16 epfl-search-service.svg epfl-search-service.ico
convert -background transparent -resize 64 epfl-search-service.svg epfl-search-service.pngAlternatively, you can run this script to do them all:
for f in $(ls img/*.svg); do
echo "Generating ico and png for $f";
filename=$(basename -- "$f")
extension="${filename##*.}"
filename="${filename%.*}"
convert -background transparent -resize 16 $f img/$filename.ico
convert -background transparent -resize 64 $f img/$filename.png
doneYou can use epfl-search-tempalte.svg as template to create new search plugins.
