Hi, I'm new to the list, so apologies if you've already had a zillion of these posted. I've written a search plugin for Firefox to allow you to search Metalink from the toolbar. I know zilch about html, but it does seem to work. The relatively cool thing about this is that you can type your search string into the toolbar, and search on Metalink, then repeat the search on, say, Google without having to cut and paste the text you are searching on. I did say *relatively* cool! If you're not already logged into Metalink it will prompt you for username and password. You have to put the attached files into C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins (or your equivalent). In case the attachments get blocked somewhere along the way, the code is below. I've got a tweaked version to search through the Metalink Notes only - mail me direct if you want that. I've mailed the code up to mozdev.org, but it hasn't yet been posted. Please mail me to let me know if you have any problems, or to let me know if you find it useful.
