Create a blog garden search connector through Bing (Windows 7 federated search)

In the last article "Windows 7 Resource Manager searching channel 9 video", we created a Channel 9 search connector, but can websites without the opensearch service search their resources through federated search? The answer is yes. We can use Bing to indirectly search for data on these websites. This article will create a search connector for the blog garden, so that you can find your desired blog in Windows Explorer.

1Open the notepad editor and clickCodePut it in and save it as. osdx format.

 <?  XML  Version  = " 1.0 " Encoding  = " UTF-8 " ?> <  Opensearchdescription Xmlns  = " Http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/ " Xmlns: MS-ose  = " Http://schemas.microsoft.com/opensearchext/2009/ " > <  Shortname  >  Cnblogs  </  Shortname  > <  Description  > Opensearch cnblogs via Bing  </  Description  > <  URL  Type  = " Application/RSS + XML " Template  = " Http://api.bing.com/rss.aspx? Source = web  & Amp;  Query = {searchterms}
Site:Www.cnblogs.com  & Amp; Web. Count = 50 " /> <  URL  Type  = " Text/html " Template  = " Http://www.bing.com/search? Q = {searchterms} + site:Www.cnblogs.com " /> </  Opensearchdescription  > 

In the code above, you can replace the green part with other site information for Custom Search and machine connection.
