Firefox Search Plugins

By Richard A. Johnson on Published: January 17, 2007 at 12:36 pm

I created 4 simple search plugins for Firefox for anyone who is interested.

  • ubuntuhelptext.src – This searches text at https://help.ubuntu.com/community
  • ubuntuhelptitle.src – This searches titles at https://help.ubuntu.com/community

Download the archived file to a directory and then extract it. After extraction, copy the files to /usr/share/firefox/searchplugins and enjoy!

    Very cool!

    Oddly enough I just created a search plugin for SAP’s Developer Network Forums (before I read your post, honestly). If any of your readers are interested please check out

    I also put a link to your post from my blog as well.

    You might want to note for the future that there’s an Add to Search Bar extension which can programmatically create new search plugins for any search box.
