So I looked into the search engines function of FireFox, and created a
custom search engine for WDSCi-L.
If anyone is interested, it can be found at
http://www.searchplugins.net/pluginlist.aspx (search for Midrange.com).
I also have the XML source, but I wouldn't know how to add it to
FireFox.
Thanks Peter, that's awesome.
Note to David: maybe you or someone else can do the same for the other
archives, and make the plugins available somewhere on the site?
I've modified Pete's XML source to provide a search of RPG400-L archive.
XML source is here
http://code.midrange.com/index.php?id=9a945826ce. To
add it to Firefox without using searchplugins.net (I didn't take the time
to figure out how to add all the parameters to their interface), you can
create an HTML page like this:
http://code.midrange.com/index.php?id=7e884aedf1. One thing to note is
that the linked plugin in the HTML is a .txt file, this is because the
hosting service I found didn't allow .xml files to upload. Firefox
doesn't seem to care about the extension though.
When you load the page, the 'choose a search function' button on the
search bar should get some blue shading around it. If you click this
button it will have an option to 'Add "Midrange.com search RPG400-L"'.
I've tested this with Firefox 2.x, not sure how IE7 would handle it. IE7
also handles the OpenSearch XML, so it may work without modification.
Hope this is useful,
Adam
