Description

It's just a meta tag in the <head>-section of the HTML pages and a XML file with additional links to the search form, RSS-feeds and suggestions.

http://www.opensearch.org or https://github.com/dewitt/opensearch

Wordpress has a nice plugin for that purpose:

OpenSearch example for Firefox:
opensearch-firefox

Research direction

Start by tracing how the HTML pages produce their section and how the search form, RSS feeds, and suggestions are exposed. Compare the requested meta tag and XML document with the linked OpenSearch specification and examples. Done means the pages advertise a valid OpenSearch document that links to the requested search, feed, and suggestion resources.
