I have been trying to add opensearch support to my website. This is what I have as opensearch.xml file:

   <OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/">
  <script/>
  <ShortName>Host</ShortName>
  <Description>Search my Website</Description>
  <InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>
  <Image width="16" height="16" type="image/x-icon">Favicon url</Image>
  <Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" method="GET" template="http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=firefox&amp;q={searchTerms}" />
  <Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://yoursite.com/?s={searchTerms}" />
  <SearchForm>http://yoursite.com/</SearchForm>
</OpenSearchDescription>

But it's registering the URL name as search engine name in Chrome settings and also on press tab suggestion. What can I change to recognize the search engine with a different name?

First of all, that script tag shouldn't be there, so you should have something like this:

 <OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/">
  <ShortName>Host</ShortName>
  <Description>Search my Website</Description>
  <InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>
  <Image width="16" height="16" type="image/x-icon">Favicon url</Image>
  <Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" method="GET" template="http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=firefox&amp;q={searchTerms}" />
  <Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://yoursite.com/?s={searchTerms}" />
  <SearchForm>http://yoursite.com/</SearchForm>
</OpenSearchDescription>

Then, Have you tried changing the name from the link element that is included on the page?

<link rel="search" href="/opensearchdescription.xml" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="name" />
