    Wow. Good to see people so excited. heh.

    Youre welcome!

    I was making one for RPMseek.com but the Firefox plugins only support the GET method and not the POST method.

    As soon as Firefox supports it (hopefully 1.0? Please?) then Ill send that one out. Get on them to support the POST method and Ill have that one ready for yall.

    When it goes live on Mozilla, I will most certainly post an announcement on the front page!

    But please refrain your schoolgirl giddiness...

    That is just too cool Thank you.
    Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

    Head over to Mozillazine and ask in the Firefox forums some of those guys are developers.

    Well it has been months, and no new search plugins have been added to mycroft at all. I dont think theyre even taking submissions anymore, though they have not made any announcements. I sent it to bproffitt but Im sure he is very busy. If anyone else has access to the site maybe you can put the link on the search page.

    Code:
    <a href="java script:addEngine('justlinux','png','JustLinux Search');">Download our Firefox/Mozilla Search Plug-in!</a>
    
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
    <!--
    function addEngine(name,ext,cat)
    {
      if ((typeof window.sidebar == "object") && (typeof
      window.sidebar.addSearchEngine == "function"))
      {
    
        window.sidebar.addSearchEngine(
          "http://www.justlinux.com/files/"+name+".src",
          "http://www.justlinux.com/files/"+name+"."+ext,
          name,
          cat );
      }
      else
      {
        errorMsg(name,ext,cat);
      }
    }
    
    //-->
    </SCRIPT>

    Could you add in a function that also does a Google Linux search, thus creating a single search tool that we can recommend to newbies?

    Im not sure how I would go about doing that without creating an application seperate from Firefox or a complete extension. Its a great idea though, if possible.

    For now there are Firefox plugins for both G4L and JL.

    Unfortunately, it is not my busyness that's the problem: it's the web developers. They won't put any code on the site without vetting it.

    I'll bump them again.

    Sorry to sound like a 'tard, but does this work on regular Mozilla too? If so, could you tell me, or give me a link on how to install it.

    Yes, it works with Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox.

    To install, extract the two files into your searchplugins directory. There are directions on the first page of this thread.

    It should be something like /home/username/.mozilla/searchplugins/
