OpenSearch plugin for Apache JIRA

If you are an Apache user or developer and find yourself searching through the JIRA at the ASF very often, it is useful to have the search built-in right into your browser. The solution is to install an OpenSearch plugin that sends the right search query to Apache's JIRA. The following Javascript link will just do that:

Install OpenSearch plugin

For the curious, look at the OpenSearch XML file.

You can now enter your favorite search terms. The search will be the same as the "Quick Search" in the upper right of the JIRA interface. Try for example mod_proxy, "JCR persistence" (which will detect the project shortcut "JCR" and search only the respective Jackrabbit project) or JCR-123 (it will detect issue identifiers and jump right to the issue).
