Hi, I'm trying to add an OpenSearch plugin to the Jellyfin web frontend so you can easily search for content from the address bar. This feature relies on the webserver sending an XML file with some metadata about how the search engine works. Since this info is dependent on the URL of the Jellyfin instance, i was directed here to add this. I have no idea where to start to add something like this, so i was hoping to get some pointers.

In short, there needs to be some URL that i can point a link tag towards which returns the following XML content:

<OpenSearchDescription
  xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/"
  xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/">
  <ShortName>Jellyfin</ShortName>
  <Description>Jellyfin Media Server</Description>
  <InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>
  <Image width="256" height="256" type="image/x-icon">favicon.png</Image>
  <Url type="text/html" template="http://localhost:8080/#/search?query={searchTerms}" />
</OpenSearchDescription>

This example uses http://localhost:8080, but this would need to be replaced with the actual URL of the instance. I'm not sure how to add this.

Any help would be appreciated ^-^
