Answer 2

If you want while-you-type suggestions, you need to have a search method on the server that searches and returns the results in JSON (not XML) format. If you don't need suggestions, you just need a method that responds to the search in a normal way by pushing HTML to the browser.

Have a look at Mozilla's official documentation for creating an opensearch plugin for your site and supporting search suggestions
