FireFox search plug-in for the wiki?

superkoop · September 22, 2007, 3:21pm

I was thinking today that it would handy if there was a wiki.blender FF search plug-in. So I tried looking to see if someone had already made one, and I couldn’t find one. I tried to make one, but I just am not experienced enough with this kind of thing to be able to find all the stuff in the page source.

Here is my attempt, I know it’s wrong, but just to show I tried:

&lt;OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/"
                       xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/"&gt;
&lt;ShortName&gt;BlenderWiki&lt;/ShortName&gt;
&lt;Description&gt;Search the BlenderWiki&lt;/Description&gt;
&lt;InputEncoding&gt;UTF-8&lt;/InputEncoding&gt;

So I decided to post on here seeing if anyone had already made, or if someone knows how to make one.
Thanks.

One alternative is to go there and right click the search box. Then choose “Add keyword for this search…”

That way you can go to the address bar and type (if you set it as “bw” for example) “bw lighting” and search for all lighting articles.

That works great! I hadn’t actually known about that. Thanks.

But it still doesn’t give you the “the BlenerWiki has it’s own search plug-in” feel. Thanks for the tip though, that solves the main problem. Guess I will just have to keep looking into how I make the search plug-in.
