fixx now has OpenSearch
We are all about open standards here at the lab and have always taken pride in implementing little standards-based improvements that make your life and job better while using fixx (ex. OpenID, Microformats etc.).
fixx is now OpenSearch enabled and the feature will be available from 1.3, which is due for release soon. I committed a patch last night that brings OpenSearch auto-discovery to your Firefox and IE7 browsers (and any other browser that supports OpenSearch).
When you navigate to your fixx installation, you should see the search icon in your browser search box turn blue and you should see an action to add fixx to your search engine list. You can then use your browser search box to directly navigate to fixx issues, by typing their issue number, or search for issues in fixx, even when you are browsing another site.
Note that the title of the search engine will be the same as the title of your fixx installation (so it might and probably will be different to what is in the screenshot).
