Members might like to know about the search plugin available for LQ for Mozilla and FireFox:

http://mycroft.mozdev.org/

just search for linuxquestions.org in the site box and install the results. you can then search this lovely site directly from the search box on your toolbar

This is great. Who do we thank for this feature?

LQ just keeps getting better with each passing day.

Travis Dart is the listed name next to the plugin.

BTW it's not the search site box at the top right.

It's the search site box in the middle.

I did post the search result but it seems like you'd have to search for it 'coz it just displays the regular download page.

i only found it by accident to be honest... i was expecting it not to exist and to create one... but i didn't need to! thanks Travis.....

I don't see anything. I mean no search box on my toolbar.

it will add it to the existing list of search bars.. you will not see anything extra if you haven't got the search box there in the first place.

Travis Dart is a member here (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...o&userid=20679) and his website is here.

As Acid_Kewpie said, "Thanks Travis"

I do have a search box right next to my url address bar. When I click on it, it takes me to google. What to do.

acid_kewpie · 06-20-2004, 07:53 AM

i gotta admit i feel stupid now i didn't realise it was Travis86... DOH!

The name rang a vague bell, so I used the now legendary LQ search function (hint to all: the search function rocks)

This is so cool! Thank you Travis Dart for this awesome Firefox extension.

It's all clear now. I was trying this in mozilla and that's why it does not show up. You see, in mozilla I would have to go to
Edit->Preferences->Internet Search

Here are listed Google and LinuxQuestions.org. It seems, google is default and I would have to change it physically to LQ if i need a LQ search.

It's a totally different picture in Firefox though. You get a drop down menu.
