Firefox *does* have a "search" box (as does IE7, IIRC). You can add search engines there, too. For example, all pages on the english wikipedia contain this in their <head> section: <link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="/w/opensearch_desc.php" title="Wikipedia (English)"> with /w/opensearch_desc.php being: <?xml version="1.0"?> <OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/";> <ShortName>Wikipedia (English)</ShortName> <Description>Wikipedia (English)</Description> <Image height="16" width="16" type="image/x-icon">http://en.wikipedia.org/favicon.ico</Image> <Url type="text/html" method="get" template="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search={searchTerms}"/> <Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" method="GET" template="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search={searchTerms}"/> </OpenSearchDescription> This should be easy enough to adapt, I guess. -- <Lo-lan-do> Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
