What are OpenSearch plugins?
OpenSearch plugins are what you have in the little search box on the right of the location bar in firefox.
Getting additional search plugins
As you add more search engines via your Firefox browser they will show up in gnome-do's "Search Web".
The Mycroft Project has over 17,000 plugins to install which allow you to search sites such as:
- YouTube
- UrbanDictionary
- GameFAQs
- Flickr
- Newegg
Resctrictions
OpenSearch Plugin searches for plugins in your userfolder (/home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/<yourprofile>/searchplugins/) only . Thus only your manually installed Plugins are found. Preinstalled Plugins are ignored.
To workaround this you have to manually copy the plugins from /user/lib/firefox-<version>/searchplugins into /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/<yourprofile>/searchplugins/ or create a symlink.
