Senseis Search Plugin For Firefox

    Keywords: Software

A member of my forum ([ext] The Goban) has developed a really neat little plug-in for Mozilla Firefox (versions 0.9.2 and up) which allows you to add a field to directly search Sensei's Library directly from the browser. For experienced librarians who need to have SL at their fingertips, this is a great tool!

The program can be downloaded [ext] here. For more information, [ext] here is the downloads page of my site, with a program description.

Enjoy! ^_^ --Hikaru79

SirLyric: Looks like this link is out of date, but I have a similar plugin available [ext] here.

Alternatively you may use the Keyword feature in Mozilla's browsers to add search features to the location bar. This solution gives a quick way to search Sensei's without using screen real-estate or requiring you to switch search engines between searches. (Nor installing potensially dangerous extensions from non-mozilla sites, though this one is probably safe)

Go to any Sensei's page and bookmark it under f.ex the "Quick Search" folder. Edit the bookmark by left-clicking it in the menu and change the following fields:

Now any input to the location bar that starts with "sen " will automatically go to the bookmarked URL with "%s" replaced with the term following "sen ". This allows you quick access to terms and pages at sites like Wikipedia, Senseis's and Urban Dictionary.

See [ext] http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html for more information.
