Engadget Search Plugin for FireFox

Since I was in the mood of creating FireFox search plugins for sites I search on often, I decided to make a search plugin for engadget. So, here it is:

Install Engadget Search Plugin

Just click the link above, and it will appear in the search bar within FireFox.

Again, sorry for the crumby icon (I obviously have no design sense). If anyone can make a better one, let me know and I will update it.

It's good form to include a sourceid input to identify the search origin as Mozilla. ;-) Not that engadgeters would use anything else, right?

How's it going, Mike?

Check out my "LookAhead" extension. It's under "Search Tools" on update.mozilla.org

You might find it interesting...

Thanks. I just updated it and added the sourceId.

I would like to do something similar for another site is there anywhere I can get a quick tutorial on creating these? I looked at your source and found the nifty javascript but I was unable to locate where the actual search URL was placed.

Hey maybe you should make a favicon for engadget also i just hate looking @ that blankpage icon on my link bar.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!!

Re: zushiba

Zushiba there is no need for a tutorial. The source for the file is http://mesh.typepad.com/firefox/search/engadget.src
go to that in any browser other than Mozilla and Firefox, it should prompt you to download it. Once downloaded open the file up in Notepad, you will then see that no tutorial is needed.

Speaking of which - does anyone know if engadget has a favicon? I'd really like that search plugin icon used as a favicon on a website somewhere, so that I can just bookmark it, right-click properties, and change the URL to www.engadget.com

It's the only bookmark without an icon in my Firefox browser! =)

Thanks in advance!
