Mozilla Firefox - ubuntuforums.org search plugin

[bobgreen5s]

I made a little plugin where you can search ubuntuforums.org through the search bar in firefox:

http://www.isoquad.com/ubuntusearch.src

put this in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchplugins

restart firefox and you can now search ubuntuforums from firefox :smile:

Nice bobgreen5s, but it would be better with the Ubuntu logo !

Another way is to create a quicksearch item:
Name: Ubuntu Forums Quicksearch
Location: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/search.php?q=%s
Keyword: u

If you installed Firefox from the mozilla site then you will ne to put these files in the searchplugins file where ever you install firefox.
like /opt/firefox/searchplugins
