Wikipedia Firefox Search Plug-in

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

Here's my second search engine plugin for Mozilla Firefox, it's for the English language version of Wikipedia. The main deficiency with it is the crummy icon for it, but I'll change this another evening for something a bit smoother. It also uses google for doing suggested search queries which you may or may not want to keep.

<SearchForm>http://en.wikipedia.org/</SearchForm>
</SearchPlugin>

To use this you want to paste the text into an xml file, I called mine wikipedia-en.xml, then save the file under <whereever firefox is installed>\searchplugins
