Firefox search plugin for zMUD
|
So I was thinking today that I search the forums a fair bit, and would be nice to have a search plugin for firefox. My attempt so far is below - paste the following text into notepad
| Code: |
## Mozilla zMUD Search Tool
<search
version="0.1"
name="zMUD"
description="zMUD Search Plugin"
action="http://forums.zuggsoft.com/phpbb/search.php"
searchForm="http://forums.zuggsoft.com/phpbb/search.php"
method="GET" >
<input name="search_keywords" user="">
<interpret
resultListStart="<!-- RESULT LIST START -->"
resultListEnd="<!-- RESULT LIST END -->"
resultItemStart="<!-- RESULT ITEM START -->"
resultItemEnd="<!-- RESULT ITEM END -->"
>
</search> |
Save it as zmud.src into the following folder
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins
You'll also need a small 16x16 pixel GIF or PNG file for the icon - I stole a zMUD image from the website and shrunk it down to size.
It works well enough, but ideally I'd like to be able to search for all words by putting + between the search terms. Also I can't seem to get it to display the results just with the subject headings - it's showing part of the body too.
Anyway, I'll have a play with it, but anyone with a bit more knowledge of it than me that wants to add their 2 cents or improve upon mine please do. And anyone that thinks it's useful, by all means steal, borrow, use it as you will.

Well whaddya know, I didn't bother checking it properly myself. You can search for multiple terms after all using the plugin.
Searching for 'Guinn' gives 17 results
'Guinn AND test' gives 2 results
'Guinn NOT test' gives 15 results
So yes, I'm more happy with that than before. I guess just to get the mode=results bit working now. Any budding web designers out there wanna give me a hand?
