thanks @eric

e.g. ?action=refinesearch&keywords={searchTerms}

I could not get it to work like that and viewing the xml file directly in firefox told me that I had a parse error in the Url tag. So I changed the way the site searched to only require 1 parameter (keywords) and it’s all good. It works great in Firefox (obviously). Slightly harder to find in IE8 but it works the same, probably works in IE9 but it decided to be a shit today and crash before I could open the site (time for a restart). Chrome works too but it’s difficult to add [go to the site then options>default search>manage>find it under other search engines>select>click "make default"] it becomes your default then you can pick and choose from it. Safari is a no go zone for open search by the looks of things.

” Url type=”text/html” template=”http://hagoole.com.au/index.html?cx=partner-pub-1726639534363061%3Akz4kws3tfqi&cof=FORID%3A9&q={searchTerms}&sa=Search”/ ”

Thanks for the code Dave.

Great stuff!
