Hi!

I propose to support OpenSearch [1] specification on postgresql.org,
which would allow anyone to easily add postgresql.org site search to
their browser. Using postgresql search directly is much more useful
than using generic search engine like google because it doesn't return
advertising or unrelevant results and seems to prefer the latest version
of documentation.

I've made a ready to use .xml description which can be pointed to from
postgresql.org pages with the following code in <head> block:

<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="PostgreSQL" href="/opensearch-postgresql.xml">

--- opensearch-postgresql.xml begins here ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
    <ShortName>PostgreSQL</ShortName>
    <LongName>PostgreSQL site search</LongName>
