I created a Mozilla search extension to search the Forums and the Wiki

I find myself searching these forums and the wiki a lot lately, so I created some search extensions for Firefox. They work in Firefox, Deer Park, just about every variant except Camino, which has its own search extension format for some unknown reason.

Anyway, you can snag them here:

It looks like someone already made one for the Wiki, but I didn't realize that until I'd submitted mine, Ah, well.

Hope it's useful....

Hrm. Doesn't search any better than the forum's Search function. BUT - cool that it's in my FireFox SearchBar.

Can Safari do THAT, Harry Seldon?

I made the wiki one... :P

And the method that Firefox uses to search things is actually taken from Apple's Sherlock (hence the name Mycroft).

Hahaha Leber. I think I could do it with a plugin of some kind, but one has to ask - is the search function all that good anyways? x_x

Leber: 1 + existing?

Seldon: I lost count. :O
