I want to create a single local HTML file that allows me to add a custom search engine to my Tor Browser.
https://github.com/adrw/torduckgo tells us how to do it with two files:
An HTML file with the special rel="search" link:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="search"
type="application/opensearchdescription+xml"
title="MySearch"
href="http://link-to-my-search.xml">
</head>
<body/>
</html>
And the linked XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<ShortName>TorDuckGo</ShortName>
...
</OpenSearchDescription>
The problem: Tor Browser does not follow local links so opening the local HTML file will not see the XML file. Tor also does not access localhost. Thus I cannot serve these two files locally either.
I would like to embed the XML search specification inside the single HTML file and have the special rel="search" link point to it. This way I could open the local HTML file and it does not need to follow links. Is this possible?
Alternatively, can I use a different way to add the search engine? Instead of rel="search"?
