Custom Search Engines in Firefox
Build Your Own Firefox Search Engine
I've stumbled across this O'Reilly hack a couple of times. The only time I can't seem to find it is when I'm looking for it. Well I finally found it again today and I decide to share it with you.
If you're a user of Firefox (and you should be!) then you're familiar with the search box in the upper right hand corner. The drop-down box has some useful search engines built in, and there's lots more that you can download from the Mozilla site. But what if the search engine you're looking for isn't on the list?
I ran into that problem with Google Images. Firefox has a built-in Google search extension, but nothing for directly searching the Images section. I use the Google Images search engine all the time to find new wallpapers, CD covers to embed in my MP3 collection, etc. With this hack, and just a few minutes, I had my very own Google Images search engine extension for Firefox. It even shows you how to track down the little icon that pops up in your URL bar and your Favorites list, and it adds it to your new search engine.
Enjoy!
