The Beyond-Teck Search Plugin




I realize that it is hard to come to the site all the time to search for something. Especially when you are studying for tests, using the blogger navbar or the search in the sidebar doesn't quite cut it. So I decided to build myself a very simple search plugin for Firefox (it also works for Flock, Netscape and similar browsers). This way all I need to do is open up a browser and search! And installing it is a piece of cake as well...

Installing it in Firefox
  1. Start
  2. My Computer
  3. Local Disk (C:)
  4. Program Files
  5. Mozilla Firefox
  6. searchplugins
  7. Drag and drop this file(the source) and this file(the favicon) from the downloaded location.
Installing it in Flock
  1. Start
  2. My Computer
  3. Local Disk (C:)
  4. Program Files
  5. Flock
  6. flock
  7. searchplugins
  8. Drag and drop this file(the source) and this file(the favicon) from the downloaded location.

Installing it in Netscape Browser

  1. Start
  2. My Computer
  3. Local Disk (C:)
  4. Program Files
  5. Netscape Browser
  6. defaults
  7. profile
  8. searchplugins
  9. Drag and drop this file(the source) and this file(the favicon) from the downloaded location.
That's it! Now you can search beyond-teck as well, without having to visit the site!
