my custom search provider for Firefox is broken. It worked like a charm until very recently. Can somebody show me how to fix it? It looks like this.

<SearchPlugin xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/">
    <ShortName>Google Encrypted</ShortName>
    <Description>Google Encrypted Search</Description>
    <InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>

    <Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" method="GET" template="https://encrypted.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&amp;q={searchTerms} "/>
    <Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="https://encrypted.google.com/search">
        <Param name="q" value="{searchTerms}"/>
    </Url>
    <SearchForm>https://encrypted.google.com/</SearchForm>
</SearchPlugin>

With no luck I've tried the new suggestions URL http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&amp;q={searchTerms}. Thankful for any advice!

  • Update your tags to have opensearch thats what this thing is called [MDN Docs - OpenSearch](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Creating_OpenSearch_plugins_for_Firefox?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Creating_OpenSearch_plugins_for_Firefox) used to be called Sherlock maybe you can add that in too – Noitidart Mar 10 '14 at 14:47

I think your search template url is wrong. Try using: https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q={searchTerms} with no space at the end, you have a space

  • This is what's in the `C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\searchplugins\google.xml` file, but it doesn't work for a custom search. Did you try it? – Aaron Copley Jul 31 '14 at 14:33
