OpenSearch engine in AUR package search

Hello

As I was setting up my search engines in Firefox, I noticed that I couldn't add the AUR package search as a search engine with a keyword like @wikipedia (see Mozilla Support: Add search engines)

Both https://wiki.archlinux.org and https://archlinux.org/packages are apparently built with OpenSearch, as they work with Firefox out of the box. I know that this exists, but still wanted to ask out of curiosity and because a quick web search didn't returned any relevant results.

I think it's just not there because so far nobody contributed it!

Feel free to contribute the feature request or even better an implementation of it to the project: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/aurweb

Re: OpenSearch engine in AUR package search

Good point!

Thesis first (shouldn't have been procrastinating anyways,) but I'll add it to my project's list and take a look at it later
