- Use the SearchUrl generator to create .js data files for SearchUrl
This is the home of SearchUrl, a new extension I am writing to allow Mozilla and Firefox to use IE/Win-style "SearchUrl" search prefixes. Before you complain that QuickSearch (built in to both browsers) does the same thing, let me assure you that it is not as featureful; IE/Win has a very nice search-and-replace engine built in that allows for a much wider variety of applications. By the time SearchUrl is complete, it will have all this and more, with a slick edit/import/export interface.
That's all in the future, though. The project is still in Alpha development — it's core functionality is present, but most of the interface is incomplete or missing entirely. Here's a little roadmap for you:
