Hi :)
Not sure if it's the right place, because this is not "major". Feel free to move it to subforum where you think it belongs - thanx :)
Announcing a search plugin for Firefox to search directly on SpringFiles.com (using the input top right, where you probably have google).
Get it here: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engine ... gfiles.com

just clicking the link adds springfiles to that searchbox thing where you by default have wikipedia, dict leo, google and some others.
neat, will use.

Re: Firefox search engine
That's awesome.
And thanks for the favicon
Not sure if it is a old one or if you made it.

Re: Firefox search engine
I already put it on SF. Cookies for you!
Re: Firefox search engine
it seems websites can somehow "propose" themself to that search field.
ie youtube does it:
I do not have youtube added as search engine but when visiting youtube.com that arrow symbol changes a bit and you can easily add yt search.
Without having to go to http://mycroft.mozdev.org etc

Re: Firefox search engine
I noticed this on some sites, but was never interested how they do it... well it's easy :)
jj: you can install the appended file "opensearch" (rename...) and add a line to sf.com's header (inside <head>):
I didn't test it, but it should work...

Re: Firefox search engine
Thanks a lot!
I added it to the site and it is almost working.
However, i have no idea what to put in the href field.
It seems it needs the link to the actual script file, but how do i get it?

Re: Firefox search engine
The attached "opensearch.zip" is really a text-file. In my <link> example you have to put it at /var/www/...../htdocs/opensearch, so that it is downloadable as http://springfiles.com/opensearch
I couldn't upload it without extension, because the forum has restricted uploads to some file extensions. I didn't want to use ".xml", because on some servers it has special meaning. So I renamed it to ".zip".
Anyway: the file has to be downloadable somewhere, and that URL should go into href. If all paths are php-interpreted or apache-mod-rewritten -> maybe you have something like "/static/"?
