Open up Firefox and take a look at the top right search box. Wherever you are on the Web, you can enter a search term in the Search bar and receive immediate answers from the search engine you’ve chosen.
Now, since the very beginning of Firefox - Mycroft has been the key repository for Firefox search plugins. Well, now you don’t have to wait any longer for someone to create a plugin for your favourite website…
OpenSearchFox is a great new extension which helps you create your own search plugin in 2 simple step:
- Right-click ANY searchbox on ANY page
- Click “Add OpenSearch plugin”.
…and that’s it!

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.
