Customize Firefox Search


Saw this on Attack of the Show the other day.

You can add your own search engines to the search control in Firefox. Here's how:

Some popular engines here, pretty cool, added via a JavaScript call?

Quick summary: you put a .src file in the searchengines Firefox folder, along with optional icon (16x16 GIF or PNG). That's it, you're searching.

AotS notes on this and below is the SRC file for a google site search.

<search
version="7.1"
name="Your Site's Title"
description="Search www.yoursite.com"
action="http://www.google.com/search"
searchForm="http://www.google.com"
method="GET"
>

<input name="sourceid" value="Mozilla-search">
<input name="sitesearch" value="www.yoursite.com">
<input name="q" user="">
</search>
