Hello my telerik chums,
Please please please implement OpenSearch on your forums, it's oh so simple it'll only take you a few seconds! Go on you know you want to....
Your forum template page add the following in the <head> tag
Eh voila, now I can whack you into my IE search provider list (or firefoxy)!
Job Done :)
Wondering what the heck OpenSearch does?
See http://www.opensearch.org/Home for info.

Hi Mac,
Thanks for your suggestion. Actually we have already planned this feature for our site, not only for our forums. We hope we will be able to implement it in the near future.
Your suggestions are always welcome and we deeply appreciate that!
Sincerely yours,

Mac,
OpenSearch is now implemented in telerik.com.
To add telerik.com to your browser search box...
- Go to telerik.com,
- Expand the search box,
- Choose "Add Search Providers" and select the search options you would like to use.
Once again, we want to thank you for your suggestion.
Kind regards,
Martin
