I'm looking for information on how to integrate with Safari Quick Website Search as a web developer.

I see how I can turn off websites in Quick Website Search (Preferences -> Search) but I believe users are not able to add them manually; Safari is meant to automagically detect them.

Under what circumstances will my website show up as an option for Quick Website Search? How can I test this?

On my own Mac, can I manually add sites to Quick Website Search by editing configuration files? Which configuration file would I look at to do this?

Users shouldn't need to manually add your website to Quick Website Search, it should be detected as available on your site automatically when the user performs a search through your website.

The best way to make sure this works on your site is to implement the OpenSearch spec, as well as making sure the <form> that the search field is in has the action attribute set to a search URL on your website.

If you've done this and your site still isn't getting added to Quick Website Search after performing a search on your site, it would be great if you could file a bug through Feedback Assistant with links to your site so we can take a look. Thanks!
