I've had a play around with the search engines for firefox today.
Using the arguements from the "Google workarounds for boards.ie search" thread I made up the following search plugins.

They might come in handy for someone.

*To search the text of posts
*To search the titles of posts
*Fugly search by user --- going to try and fine tune this one.

Getting the search engines to work is the same as explained here -> Firefox plugins on Biki

Nice one. You could always see if you could put the Development forum to good use by getting others to muck in and help you improve the plug-ins.

"After that you just restart Firefox and you should see the engine in the drop down list."

Question: What dropdown list does this refer to?

Top-right corner, next to "Go"? [Click the icon/arrow part]

Example, with User Search plug-in:

i have that dropdown search thing, and it doesn't work.

i used to be able to seach for an item, rather than having to post a question, which has prob been posted many times.

There's a thread that explains all the technical reasons in great detail.
I just can't find it though.;)

I see we have search for threads you started in our cp's?
but could you not add a link for threads you've posted ,for just your own posts, I can never find my own posts, I rarely sub, does subbing actually bring you directly to your post?
