      Thanks LiewCF, Just for other readers understanding, Firefox 2 and IE7 comes with an open standard where webmasters can let visitors add a search plugin option to browsers. The extension described in the post above can be used to create search plugins for ANY site - regardless of whether the webmaster implements autodiscovery of their search plugin or not.
