I'm not sure we support POST requests for OpenSearch out of the box (I maybe corrected when our resident expert returns from holiday next week).

Depending on how the destination service deals with parameters you maybe able to formulate the request as a GET request, in which case you'd enter the following as the URL:

<url type="text/html">http://www.example.com/dosearchsite.action?quickSearch=true&searchQuery.spaceKey=conf_global&searchQuery.queryString={searchTerms}&sourceid=Mozilla-search</url>‍

We don't yet support OpenSearch engines that accept POST requests. I'm not sure there are many at this time.

In any case, I not aware of Documentum, Sharepoint etc supporting OpenSearch out of the box, so you may have to implement the OpenSearch api anyway, in which case support GET.
