Allow opensearch to use current browser search engine

Many websites do not implement their own search function, however it is possible to let an external url template power opensearch.

You could let the url template use a search engine of choice like this:

However, the search engine that the web authors specifies may not be that of the users preference. If sites can opt-in to allow an opensearch description to use the users current browser to power the search function it could serve as an easy integration for opensearch for all web authors.
