..... Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Would it be possible for someone to write a search plugin for Firefox that would allow it to search neowin with the [ctrl]+[k] ? I know that some sites have plugins, but not neowin, and it would be quite a useful feature to just be able to search neowin right away from another site, to look something up, for example.

nivek7 Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 yeah, that would be nice. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I'm pretty sure this isn't possible. Currently, Firefox only supports the GET method, but IPB search uses the POST method. I hope the POST method is added to Firefox 0.9 :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwBen Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I made a post on MozillaZine Forums (apparently the Mozilla coding monkies read that forum) and came up with this: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=57097 :) edit: Damn, using phpBB brings back memories from other addictive forums that I used to visit :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 IPB doesn't care if it's POSTed or GETted - it's just POST by default. I haven't tested this too much (did 2 searches for "test"), but it seems to work. Testing done in a Firebird nightly (I'm too lazy to upgrade). Instructions: Create a file named "neowin.src" in {Browser Path}\searchengines\ and restart your browser. That should be all. <search version="7.1" name="Neowin Forum" description="Neowin Forum" method="GET" action="https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php" searchForm="https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=Search" > <!-- Action codes - don't mess with them --> <input name="act" value="Search"> <input name="CODE" value="01"> <!-- Forum IDs - just leave this at all --> <input name="forums" value="all"> <!-- From this amount of days and... - Possible values: any number --> <input name="prune" value="60"> <!-- ...newer or older? - Possible values: newer and older --> <input name="prune_type" value="newer"> <!-- Sort by? - Possible values: last_post, posts (topic replies), starter_name (topic starter name), forum_id (Forum Name) --> <input name="sort_key" value="last_post"> <!-- Sort order? - Possible values: asc, desc --> <input name="sort_order" value="desc"> <!-- Where to search? - Possible values: titles, posts --> <input name="search_in" value="titles"> <!-- Show results as * - Possible values: topics, posts --> <input name="result_type" value="topics"> <!-- Leave this one. --> <input name="keywords" user=""> <!-- Interpreting - Lite skin - UNTESTED but not needed for basic searching --> <interpret resultListStart="<table cellpadding='2' cellspacing='1' border='0' width='98%' bgcolor='#90A0B0' align='center'>" resultListEnd="<tr><td colspan='8' class='titlemedium'> </td></tr>" resultItemStart="<span class='linkthru'> " resultItemEnd="</span>" > </search> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
