Browse to Yammer and do a Search

Just do a search for “TEST”.  You can optionally search in a group if you want.

Copy the URL

Make sure it says  &search=TEST  in the URL.  Give the search provider a name and click Install

Just type a search term in the address bar, then click the Yammer icon Twice

In my example, I configured it to search within a group
