Gearslutz Search Plugin for Firefox

csl · 26th September 2007, 11:26 PM

Hi folks - I'm not sure if there's already a plugin like this for Gearslutz, but as I couldn't see one anywhere I decided to create one (apologies if one already exists).

It's one of those little search plugins for Firefox, which appears in the top right of your browser, and lets you search Gearslutz. If you click here you ought to be able to visit the Mycroft page, whereupon clicking on the name will install the plugin.

If it works all right I might get some forum-specific searches done too.

It's really handy when used in conjunction with the Context Search plugin [install], which then allows you to search for a bit of gear/text by highlighting, right-clicking, then selecting the Gearslutz search.

Hopefully I haven't messed it up. Let me know either way.

Thanks csl. Will definitely check this out.

csl · 27th September 2007, 11:31 AM

Mods - if this belongs in one of the other forums, please feel free to move it.

Looks very cool

**Jules** · 27th September 2007, 11:36 AM

Someone else made this already but I hid the post as I wasn't sure if I liked the idea, wasn't asked about it first and wanted some time to think about it.

Or was that you?

Can you contact me via PM please?

Thanks,

Nope wasn't me. I only just decided to make it since I hadn't seen anything else already available. I'll PM you, sure.

Thanks! I've been looking for this for a couple years. I would have programmed it myself but didn't know how. Much appreciated!

Very cool! Thanks CSL

Andraes · 12th January 2008, 09:07 AM

Hi. When checking posts with the search plug (that initially is a brill ID.) 4-5 of recent posts (position 3/4/5 7/9 are missing.
Should I change something in the cache preferences (or so?)

**Jules** · 3rd May 2008, 11:54 PM

Does this work with Internet Explorer too?

**Jules** · 7th May 2008, 11:13 PM

Anyone else get that error?

Do you have to tweak Firefox first somehow to get it to work?

(works for me..)

zooloo · 8th May 2008, 10:32 AM

I get the same error :(

(Other than that avery cool extension to search a very cool forum - thank you csl and Jules.)

Ol' Betsey · 8th May 2008, 10:38 AM

Yep. I get the same error.

Strange as it worked fine and then just stopped about a week ago.

Hmmm.

Jaques Beraques · 8th May 2008, 10:59 AM

I get the same error at Home and in the Studio.

Same problem here. Can anyone give instructions on how to use this search plug in once it is working? Do you simply type into the gearslutz bar or do you have to highlight text before you search?
I downloaded firefox just for this so excuse me if this is a newbie question.

thanks, Mike

**Jules** · 9th May 2008, 11:42 PM

See if clearing the cache in the browser preferences fixes it?
