Mozilla Search Plugins
« on: September 19, 2006, 01:55:08 pm »
I wrote up two Mozilla search plugins:

- Package search. Search the feed browser for a package.
- Package details. Get details on a particular package.

Just a note, it would be nice if there was a way, as with Mediawiki sites, that we could go to a details page if that exact package exists or search on that string if not. That would eliminate the need for two plugins.

I did not publish these to Mycroft (repository for Mozilla/Sherlock search plugins) because the feed browser URL appears temporary. If this is wrong I will (or someone else can) publish these to mycroft.

The icon is the same for both plugins, it is scaled version of the Opiezilla logo from http://opie.handhelds.org/

Sorry for the .tar.gz, the forum won't let me upload .src files even though they are just plain markup-style text.

Hope this is useful!

(in case you don't know what to do with these: place the files in the searchplugins/ directory of your browser profile directory and restart the browser) System wide location for Firefox is /usr/lib/firefox/searchplugins.
