Firefox Search plugins — Scroogle, PythonDocs, JavaBlogs

Posted by Jeff August 11, 2006

Here are search plugins for JavaBlogs, Python documentation, or Scroogle. They install in the search box at the top of the Firefox window:

Click to install:

JavaBlogs IconJavaBlogs: search javablogs.com

Python IconPython Docs : search python.org/doc

Scroogle IconScroogle : Google results without the cookies or search records.

To uninstall search engines, use SearchPluginHacks.  To right-click on text and invoke a search engine, I like SearchWith.

    Hi Jeff

    Thanks for writing about SearchWith. I’m the developer of SearchWith and I’m about to release version 0.3 that focuses on allowing users to select multiple engines and simultaneously search them.

    If you are interested, I can send you a preview version of this extension. Let me know.

    […] Next, pick up Scroogle With, an extension I hacked to replace Google with Scroogle when using the context menu’s Search With option. I don’t know if installing Scroogle as Firefox’s search engine would do the same, but my extension has the added feature of working with text boxes. […]
