This is the preferred way of installing:

"require": {
	"dereuromark/cakephp-opensearch": "dev-master"
}

Manual

Copy the plugin over to your App/Plugin/ directory.

Preparation

1. Create appropriate table (cake console: cake schema create OpenSearch.OpenSearch)
2. Create an action for performing searches
3. Add at least one search type (via backend admin/open_search/addons/ for example)

Usage

Use the helper to render appropriate links in the layout:

$this->loadHelper('OpenSearch.OpenSearch');
echo $this->OpenSearch->metaLink('web', 'my title');

for example, if you added web as search type.
