Wiki Search Plugin for Firefox

Postby Kato » Fri Jun 27, 2008 2:06 pm

Got bored, coded a quick search plugin for our Wiki.

Hope it will increase your productivity--it's increased mine :)

Enjoy.

(place in your \Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins folder)

Let me know if you have any feedback :)

I Love it!

But my Firefox 3 doesn't like the .ico file, so I replaced this code:

Code: Select all
<Image width="16" height="16">http://mycroft.mozdev.org/updateos.php/id0/gowwiki.ico</Image>


with this code:

Code: Select all
<Image width="16" height="16">data:image/x-icon;base64,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</Image>

lol... OK, there are those of us that seldom need to do this task (save a plugin).

In Firefox:
Right-click the link and select 'Save Link As...' and save it in Firefox folder per Kato. (Ok, I only use FF to debug web page JS... I din't know) Restart the browser to have it appear in drop down. Also, If you have the Google Toolbar installed... you won't see the new plugin in its drop down of choices. Look for Firefox's search window, its there.

In IE7:
This is a sort of 'write your own' thing but IE7 helps. Open up your IE7 Search (see image).

Select Find More Providers... That will take you to a page where you build your seach tool. Once at the page, there is a yellow tool used to build the new search. (See image)

The text you need to paste in the top entry field is:
Code: Select all
http://www.guildofwriters.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=TEST&fulltext=Search


The text you paste in can be changed. If you use the extended seach features, you can make specialized searches. Just do the search with options set, use TEST as required and use the resulting URL.

What, you mean like using the "site:http://guildofwriters.com/wiki/" string?

Example:
http://www.google.com/search?q=lights+site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fguildofwriters.com%2Fwiki%2F
