I asume you are talkinga bout openSUSE software search over webpin, not
a file over a website.
I have no idea, as I do not know it well enough. webpin used to be
'just' a webimplementation of "pin". Apparently they have moved on.
However I want to use it to point people towards software and for that I
rather use the official site to show that openSUSE does a lot of work as
well. Advertisement, brand awareness, whatever you like to call it.
It might confuse new people if they have to visist 27 different sites,
while almost all of the information is available in one place
If you WERE talking about the file over the webpin site, the advantage
of using the file is that you can use it directly from your browser.
If you like that and still want to use the search in Firefox, just do a
search and look how the result looks. e.g. you will see
http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/...earchTerm=slrn
Now you open openSUSE103.xml and look for the old search item and
replace that. Also change other things as well. Next look for a 16x16
icon to replace it and paste that URL in here;
http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/cgi/data/data and paste that into the
file.
