How to wirte a REST URL in Firefox search engine plugin

I tried to write a search engine plugin for Firefox and when writing a template like http:www.mytemplate.com/search?q=XXXX, I use 

  <Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://www.mytemplate.com/search">
    <Param name="q" value="{searchTerms}"/>
  </Url>

This works fine.

But what if I need http:www.mytemplate.com/search/q/XXXX How should I construct the template ?

I tried 

  <Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://www.mytemplate.com/search/q/{searchTerms}">
  </Url>

But it does not work to collect the searchTerms in the URL when I search

Solution

  • I solve the answer by myself.

    It seems firefox does not load the file again though I restart, so I delete the original one and copy another one into a new name, now it works

    <Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://www.mytemplate.com/search/q/{searchTerms}">
</Url>
