is there any plan to provide OpenSearch API for Elasticsearch docs soon?
It would be really nice if I could search the docs directly from browser
URL. Many browsers support that and it is quite fast shortcut to docs: once
you start typing into URL field "elast" -> it will give you a hint that you
can hit TAB to search in elasticsearch.org -> if you hit the TAB it will
allow you to directly input search term and send it into search API of
docs, also search suggestions are fully supported in many browsers.
Just wanted to ping the ML before opening ticket for this.

That is not how OpenSearch works. With OpenSearch, you don't need to type
?s= As Lukas explained, if you visited the site before, you should be
presented with a search interface after pressing TAB after entered the
first few (unique) characters of a domain. Try it out with google.com or cnn.com
Great feature. I wish more sites supported it. My own company doesn't, but
that is because I have nothing to do with the front end! It would be done
immediately if I had access.

Hmm I tried this on google.com and cnn.com on Chrome and Safari and didn't
see what you describe at all. Tab just selected the first option from the
list of suggestions under the URL field. What am I missing?

hard to say, just to make sure we are on the same page here is how I did it
for search.jboss.org back some time. I think it is still quite up to date. Website: JBoss Community Search upgraded| JBoss.org Content Archive (Read Only)(see
the "Adding OpenSearch Support")
There is also video in the blog post showing this thing in action (please
do not laugh too hard at the narrator voice).
Although the OpenSearch "standard" is IMO a bit dated and not actively
maintained it brings fast and easy shortcuts to repetitive searching in the
site. I would welcome this on Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic (and you would still
get most of the metrics if you track any). In fact I think it can be quite
easy to add it there (you already have suggester and all that would be
needed is to add some xml file into web root and create a new output format
of the search suggester to match the opensearch format).
