Another Firefox 3 plugin

Two years ago I created for all Bibliobloggers a Biblioblogs search with all blogs mentioned on Biblioblog. This was a good add-on which is used by about 10 visitors a day.

Now with the new Firefox 3, I created a small plugin, which can be added to your FF browser.
After downloading (rightclick - save as) install it in the searchplugins directory from Firefox (mostly C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins) and restart your FF browser.

In the topright corner you can select Biblioblogs and search in all blogs of the Biblioblog-family.

Update: for those interested in a similar searchengine for my site see here.
Update 2: see here for the list of Bibliobloggers I used for this searchengine
Update 3: the old one gave a code-error, a new plugin is created.

In fact it's an add-on of Google, my experience blogs from this company within 1 day, others mostly within a day or 2-3

Thanks for this plugin! It took me a while to figure out where to add this for the Mac, so let me share it for others. You have to go to the Firefox.app, right-click on it and select "Show Package Contents." That will show you what is bundled into the program. Now go to Contents/MacOS/plugins and drop the file in there.

Thanks Chris for your information.

I think that should be Content/MacOS/searchplugins which is how I got this to work. Thanks for the plug-in.
