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.

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.
