I have made some search plugins for the MacOS X Hints and Versiontracker lovers who use Mozilla Firebird as their default browser. The search plugins enable you to search within Mozilla Firebird by using the search box -- each site appears as a new option in the drop-down menu under the magnifying glass in the search box.
You can download the plugins from the macosxhints' download collection -- Search Plugins (4KB). After downloading and expanding the archive, you can install the extensions by control-clicking on Mozilla Firebird. Select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu, and then navigate to Contents -> MacOS -> searchplugins in the new window. Copy the contents of the downloaded SearchPlugins -> Plugins folder into the searchplugins folder, and launch Mozilla Firebird. You should now have two new search engines in the drop-down menu in the search box.
[robg adds: I tested these, and they work as described, allowing easy searches of both macosxhints and versiontracker.]
