In case anyone is interested:

Some of you may already be aware that I have written a search plugin for
FireFox which will allow a user to search our Wiki using the search bar.

I have submitted the plugin to Mycroft at Mozdev.org, and it can be
found here [0].  I encourage FireFox (and Mozilla) users to give it a try.

I have also filed bug 12197 [1] two weeks ago in an attempt to get a
spell for this plugin included in the http section.  I have already
written the spell and attached it to the bug report.  Casting this spell
installs the search plugin globally (all users see it), while clicking a
self-installing link (using JavaScript [2]) will cause the search plugin
to be installed in the user's profile (doing both may cause Mozilla to
display the plugin twice).

Perhaps the JavaScript can be considered for inclusion into our Wiki's
front page?  Just a thought, not a suggestion.

If you would like to test/review the spell, you can download the tarball
 from my server [3] or from the bug report.

Anyway, I may be the only one who thinks this plugin is useful, but I
thought I'd fire off this e-mail in case others may find it equally useful.
