I've written a quick search plugin for Firefox that allows you to search the CompSci.Ca forums from the searchbar.

You can find the link to it here. Just click on the "CompSci.Ca" link and it will automatically install for you.

Enjoy Smile.

I've failed to mention that all the default options are used.

It's been fixed; and it seems to work decently... though the icon is a bit too big

Say what? Click on the link, then click on "CompSci.Ca Search". It'll pop up asking you to install, click OK and it shows up in the searchbar. You probably still see the Google search, in which case, click on the Google icon to change engines.

Unfortunately compsci.ca's search script is quite slow. Please be patient.

Strange, a few hours ago that link was giving a 404 error o.O

Anyhow, how slow is it? o.O XD

The link was pointing to an incorrect location (fixed many hours ago), it then was rm'ed (my bad), and now it's up.

As for demonstrating it works, I never thought it would come to this. However, here it is.

There's nothing I can do about the speed, it's passed to compsci.ca and it lets the forum do its thing. It's not my fault phpBB is... well... not all that great.

The icon is a lot better now, but I'm afraid the search hasn't been working for me either. Nothing starts loading when you type something in and hit enter, unlike in your video. Is this only for Firefox 2.0 maybe?

Nice video though, what did you use to create it? Wink

That it is. I tested it in 1.5.something and it did not work, but it is working 2.0.

It works flawlessly for me using firefox 2.0, but alas that is all I have. Unfortunately the compsci.ca search is horrible... perhaps there is a way to use google's site: feature to search compsci and gte decent search results?

google does have 49,000 pages of compsci listed. Out of that 5000 is for wiki pages, 150 freerange, 42 blog.

a properly crafted search

site:compsci.ca "turing tutorials" intitle:math.distance

quickly produces an exceptionally accurate result Wink
