Firefox search plugin query

    Hello,

    One for you firefox hackers. Can you use variables in search plugins? I'm making yet another search plugin for myself. Allow me to illustrate:

    I have a site say, someurl.com, which has daily updates (a blog). I'd like my search plugin to work off whatever the current URL is.

    So if I'm at http://www.someurl.com/blog_A/, then the plugin will work on the search form on that page, next I go to http://www.someurl.com/blog_B/ and the plugin uses the search form on that page.

    So I need something like
    <SEARCH
       version = "7.1" 
       name="blog search"
       description="Search this blog"
       method="get"
       action=[COLOR=RoyalBlue]*variable_name*[/COLOR]
       queryCharset="ISO-8859-1"
    >
    

    And be able to populate *variable_name*. Any idea's?
    Alternativley is there a directive that specifies the current URL?

    They're dummy urls btw
