Description
If I type stackoverflow.com into the Chrome omnibox without pressing enter a little "Press tab to search Stack Overflow" note pops up:
Now I can search StackOverflow directly without having to load the page, wait for the search box to render, navigate to the box, and type in my search. I just press tab and go. This happens without any configuration or effort on my behalf. I'd like it if the docs.racket-lang.org website did the same, as searching those docs is very common for me even outside DrRacket.
Apparently, this works through the OpenSearch standard. For Scribble to support this there would need to be a link in the generated HTML to an OpenSearchDescription XML document, as described in this StackOverflow question.
