Google Search Is Dying

Yeah it didn't work. I checked https://andisearch.com/opensearch.xml but it redirected to that route with a trailing slash: https://andisearch.com/opensearch.xml/

That might be part of it.

Thanks for having a look. The opensearch file is https://andisearch.com/andi.xml, and it's correctly referenced from the "<link rel="search"..." opensearch tag. If you have a look in Firefox you'll see it prompts in the nav bar. So I don't think that would be the issue. Do you see anything for other engines like You with the opensearch head item?

Thanks heaps! Will post the outcome here just in case anyone else is trying to make opensearch work on Chrome on iOS once we figure it out!

I'm thinking maybe Chrome on iOS has its own flavor of implementation and possibly it needs the filename to be "opensearch.xml" rather than looking at the <link> tag. I'm renaming the file to see if that makes a difference. If you had an example of another site where it worked, that would be awesome. At least one more platform where OpenSearch works for setting the default site search would be nice.
