Earlier today, Rob over at Spatial Miscellany posted an article on how to add an EDN (ESRI Developer Network) search to Internet Explorer 7.

I don’t have a real use for EDN search, but just for fun I’ve created a page where anyone can add this OpenSearch to their modern (Firefox 2.0 or IE 7) browser without having to copy and paste URLs.

Adding an EDN search to your browser

Anybody feel like creating a resource page that stores a bunch of GIS searches in this easily-accessible format?

I’d love to see the earth browsers and online maps support this sort of feature as well. For instance, it would be great if I could build some plugins to allow Google Earth users to easily search my municipality’s geospatial data without relying on the Google KML Search to know what they are interested in.
