<div>I've created an Acre app that implements the Visual Search extension to OpenSearch so that IE8 (and hopefully the other major browsers shortly) can serve up images along with freebase-suggest style query completion. You can see a picture of it in action, or add it to your browser at <a href="http://visualsearch.sblom.user.dev.freebaseapps.com/">http://visualsearch.sblom.user.dev.freebaseapps.com/</a>.</div>

<div><font color="#000000"><span class="m">I've tested the hell out of it in Firefox 3.0 and IE8 RC1 on Vista, but don't know about Chrome or Safari.</span></font></div></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've got a request in to have it added to the IE8 Search Provider gallery (<a href="http://www.ieaddons.com/en/searchproviders/">http://www.ieaddons.com/en/searchproviders/</a>), although I'm not sure they'll approve me because the URL doesn't look very official.</div>

<div>MetaWeb, should be very little work for you to update <a href="http://www.freebase.com/opensearch">http://www.freebase.com/opensearch</a> to include a new line that says <span class="m"><font color="#0000ff"><</font></span><span class="t"><font color="#990000">Url</font></span> <span class="t"><font color="#990000">type</font></span><span class="m"><font color="#0000ff">="</font></span><b>application/x-suggestions+xml</b><span class="m"><font color="#0000ff">"</font></span><span class="t"><font color="#990000"> template</font></span><span class="m"><font color="#0000ff">="</font></span><b><a href="http://visualsearch.sblom.user.dev.freebaseapps.com/suggest?format=xml&q={searchTerms}">http://visualsearch.sblom.user.dev.freebaseapps.com/suggest?format=xml&q={searchTerms}</a></b><font color="#0000ff"><span class="m">"</span><span class="m"> />. <font color="#000000">It will be ignored for now by any browsers other than IE8. <span class="m">It'll make your Microsoft users feel a little more loved than they do today.</span></font></span></font></div>
