Mycroft Mozilla Search Plugin

You Firefox users may be familiar with the little Google search bar at the top right corner of your browser. I myself am a heavy user of said search bar, and have added different engines to my list in order to make my life easier, using plugins offered by the Mycroft Project.

I've been thinking about how it would be convenient to have a StopForumSpam.com search bar for my own use, because I need it every day (thanks for the awesome resource, Russ!). So I dug around Mycroft and found a plugin generator for making my own search toolbar. It worked like a charm, I have successfully made a plugin that lets you quickly search StopForumSpam.com while browsing. I thought I'd share with everyone!

Here's a link to the plugin:
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html … orm=Search
Just click to install and start using. I especially love highlighting a suspicious username/domain/IP then right clicking on it, selecting "Search SFS" and it's done in a flash! ^_^ I hope it's alright that I've done this. Enjoy!

Hey Lothy, this looks pretty cool. I tried to install it but when I click on the name I get an error:

Firefox could not install the search plugin from "http://mycroft.mozdev.org/installos.php … umspam.xml" because an engine with the same name already exists.

Thanks for working on this, I'm trying my best to get caught up on all the new stuff here!

Okay, I went and tested it out. I already have it installed, I clicked the link, and I got the same message that says it's already installed. I uninstalled it, clicked again, and it worked fine. I suspect you may have clicked the link twice? It's way easier to install than expected. Did you check your search bar?

Oops...yeah, I must have not noticed it was already there. I removed it, added it again and I got confirmation to install. Neat!

If it's ok, I'll go ahead and link to it from the Downloads page.

I'm glad it's working for everyone!

That'd be fine, yeah.
