A little something for the users of Firefox or Mozilla

[freak]

Hello all,

I creates search plugins to use the browser's search field to do a search
on pb related sites. (Forums, PureArea, RecourceSite)
Should work with Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox or Netscape 6.
(except the results are not displayed in the mozilla sidebar)

Get them here:

Thanks Freak!

Question: Did you code these additions in PB, or XUL? I'm a new Firebird
user (haven't got Firefox yet) and would love to write extensions for Firebird,
but I'm too lazy to start learning XUL.

These plugins are just small script files, very easy do create. (no PB stuff)
Have a look in the "searchplugins" folder, at the *.src files, there you see.

For the forum search, i had to create a little php wrapper, because these
plugins don't support the POST mehtod.

There is more info here: (sever currently down)

Works better than searching from the forum itself, with a clearer presentation of the results (listed by topic, which doesn't seem to work on from the forum itself).
Thanks

You just have to change the "Display Results as: " to Topics instead of Posts.
That should do the trick.

I just prefer this way, that's why the wrapper i wrote does it like that.

It should, I know. But for some reason it doesn't work from my PC, no matter wether I use IE or Firefox. But with you're plugin I'm saved, so I don't care anymore.
