In my Firefox, I use the search engines plugin. From the bar, I can search Google, IMDB, Ebay and such like. It'd be cool, if I could search the Scan site from there too. Just pop an ln number or search term without having to navigate to the site beforehand.
I can't do it, as you might have gather from my rather shambollic first paragraph, so anyone else have the skills?

Either copy/paste the code below into notepad and save as "scan.xml" in your C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins directory, or download the zip file below and extract it to there instead
or download here.Code:<SearchPlugin xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/"> <ShortName>scan.co.uk</ShortName> <Description>scan.co.uk Search</Description> <InputEncoding>ISO-8859-1</InputEncoding> <Image width="16" height="16">data:image/x-icon;base64,R0lGODlhEAAQAOYAABkrkDNDmlJfq296uYyVx5qiznN/txkvk6euzMDE1Ro2l3WFuhs9mzZUpMDG 13WJvBxGoTldqk1tspmqzB1Rp092toqjyR5crjtwtKa60h9otlGHwImrzrLD1dTZ3rTG1yB2vpi6 1CKDxyOS0EGe0Xu42CWi2p/W777S20Ss2YzG3Say5GnK7FzK7lm/4oXX8pPc89Tc3Nre2+Dh4Nnd 2Nve2eHi4OTm4dze2d3e2Nzd1t/g2d7f19/f197e1t3d1efn39/f2Nzc1dvb1Nra09nZ0ufn4Ofn 4QAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACwA AAAAEAAQAAAHn4BAgoIzAwKHiIcEg0AJAQCQkZEFgzOPkAGZmgFHgwgHoAZGjKRACwqoDqWkDQyu DzargxEQtRAREhMeo6QWFL/AvxU3gkHGOxkYGBfMzR3GPdHSMh8bGtcaHNE+3N3cPCDhICHcP+bn 5jgi6yIo5jklOkLzOjElI/gkNfMnJin//0wIFKhiiEEWKxIqXOiCBpGHMFpInDjxBZEiGIsEAgA7</Image> <Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://www.scan.co.uk/Search.aspx?q={searchTerms}"/> <SearchForm>http://www.scan.co.uk/</SearchForm> </SearchPlugin>

Hope you like it!
awesome streetster
Streetster, you have the honour of being the fist person to receive a thank from me.
Fantastic job!
I'm thinking this might be worth a sticky?
Superb! I've already modded this for a few of my favourite sites.
Streetster - is there an easy way to find out the encoding of specific icons (like google, etc) so that I can mod these to have the same icon that their homepage has?

Smart - worked a treat!Originally Posted by streetster
get yourself a 16x16 pixel gif, upload it to here and it churns out the base-64 encoding for you to copy/paste into the xml file... sorted
Hehe, thanks. I even decided to download over rapidshare on a free account (give you some points towards free premium)
Good Work =]
Remember in FireFox you can also assign a search bar to a number/letter so you can search it from address bar. For instance if you assigned the Scan search box as "S" then typing "S corair hx" into the address bar and hitting return will search scan for Corsair HX.
Just right click inside the searchbar and hit "Add a keyword for this search"
Enjoy =] (afaik, this is by default in FF)

If you open the Scan website, then pull down the search toolbar, then the Scan search engine is already listed to be added.

even better, click here http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-eng...ame=scan.co.uk and click SCAN and add, this site also has other sites, it has every site that i can think of anyway.
Many thanks for this!If you open the Scan website, then pull down the search toolbar, then the Scan search engine is already listed to be added.
Just in case you have not tried this:
Use the 'Easy DragToGo' addon in combination to this. Set one of the text gesture option to this (or any other search engine). Then you may select the text from any webpage, and with one drag on your mouse, there you go!
