Would be much better, if InterSystems will add OpenSearch to their documentation. And I think it will be enough only for the public version. And in this case, it will be supported in all modern browsers, without installation anything external.

Something like this.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
 <ShortName>InterSystems docs latest</ShortName>
 <Description>InterSystems Ensemble Documentation latest Version</Description>
 <Url type="text/html" method="get" template="https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.SearchPageZen.cls?KEY=&KeyWord={searchTerms}"/>
</OpenSearchDescription>

Well, that's actually exactly what this plugin is.
