Create A Custom Firefox Search Bar That Searches Any Site Or Your Intranet

Posted by on Mar 30, 2005 | One Comment

Firefox comes with a Google search bar that is installed by default in the browser. However, you can create a similar search bar that connects to any search engine, any site search, or even a search for your company’s intranet. This sample hack from Windows XP Hacks, 2nd Edition shows you how.

    Speaking as one of the victims of the Happening Now feature, I must say equivocally that I hate it. It is impossible to filter posts on Happening Now, so one gets everything, from posts to his closest friends to updates what not so close friends “like.” It is also difficult to scroll up and down. Besides this, I honestly don’t see what Happening Now does that the Most Recent filter on the news feed does not do.

    Worse yet, whether it’s part of this test or some glitch, the moment the “Happening Now” filter appeared on my home page, my Most Recent filter and all other filters disappeared. I then had no means to filter my news feed. As a result I had to hide posts from all but my very closest friends just to make sense of my news feed. I hope Facebook realises that there is some truth that old saying, “It it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Keep the home page the way it is, WITH the Most Recent and other filters, and ditch this silly Happening Now thing.
