It's coded in the page.
It's based on the OpenSearch specification ( http://www.opensearch.org/ 
). Works in both FF and IE.

It works this way:

- You add an xml file to your site that contains the search engine 
description, here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com//opensearch_desc.php
- You add a link tag to the HTML of the pages you want the search engine 
to be installed from:
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" 
href="/opensearch_desc.php" title="SqueezeboxWiki (English)" />

I personally think a link 'add the wiki searchengine plugin to your 
browser' would be more effective. I think you more or less stumbled upon it.

I just implemented both methods to my website. Thanks for the tip!

Regards,
Peter
