Search Everywhere Description

An extension that creates an on-the-fly Google Custom Search Engine. Search Everywhere is a Firefox extension that creates an on-the-fly Google Custom Search Engine, based on the links from the current page. Try visiting http://slashdot.org, then click the icon in your status bar (a "G" with a chain-link underneath). Enter a query in the textbox, and hit the Search button. You will see search results that are based on the news stories and other linked contents of the slashdot front page. Current options on the toolbar:· URL ExtractionExact: use extracted URLs without modification, to create a very "narrow" search engine.Paths: use the host+path from an extracted url, but omit any filenames.Hosts: use only the host from extracted urls to create a "broad" search engine. · Extraction modifiersFilter: some of the extracted URLs might be dominate search results for almost any query. For example, if we extract http://nih.gov, it is unlikely any other extracted URL will appear in search results. By enabling this option, the search engine will avoid certain overly-dominant URL patterns, like nih.gov/*. Boost exact: this allows combination of host or path URL extraction, with an extra layer of exact URL extraction. Exact urls will be prefered in the search results. · Other optionsNew Tab: open search results in a new tab. Requirements: · Mozilla Firefox What's New in This Release: · Code is now hosted at code.google.com: http://code.google.com/p/searcheverywhere/source/checkout . · Tested with Firefox 3.5.3, assuming compatibility to all 3.5.x (it hasn't broken since I created it two years ago...). · Added agent=searcheverywhereV0.4.0 flag to search requests, to mark this search as coming from a SearchEverywhere toolbar. · Bumped the version to 0.4.0.
