Google Scholar Search (FF1.0)
 

Anyone know if its possible to change the default google search bar that
is default in FF1.0 to scholar.google.com rather than standard google
search.

Sadly - scholar.google.com seems to be the one google engine they don't
have a plugin for :-( Thanks for the tip though, I'll check back in a
month or too!

YOu could probably use the many existing Googlre plugins as models.

Make a text file (using notepad for example)
save as ScholarGoogle.src
be sure the file is in searchplugins folder (a subfolder in Mozilla folder)
paste the all stuff far below into your text file
then restart/start Moz or Firefox.








# Mozilla/(assume Firefox, too) scholar.google.com plug-in as mangled by Splibblyblibbly alt.fan.mozilla from the plain
google.src by amitp+mozilla@google.com

<search
name="ScholarGoogle"
description="Scholar Google Search"
method="GET"
# blank query http://scholar.google.com/
action="http://scholar.google.com/scholar"

oops. if you want sidebar results (which aren't very useful, because they aren't much distinguishable from each other), replace
the above with this:



<interpret
browserResultType='result'
resultListStart='<span class="w">'
resultListEnd='<div class=n>'
resultItemStart='<font size=-2><b>'
resultItemEnd='</font></font>'

Thanks Lee - I've had a go at that now and submitted one, seems to work
my end, so hopefully it'll be of some use to others.....

Thanks, for that. However I had a hash myself before I saw your post,
and got accurate results, will check my version against yours to see the
differences and see if I can work out what they do! (Its been a while
since I coded anything, and my COBOL programming training is fairly
insignificant these days!! :) )
