Search SL from FireFox

I created a Search Plugin for Firefox that lets you search the Second411 (http://www.second411.com) database of Second Life items from within the FireFox searchbar.

It's pretty handy and I thought some other people might like to give it a try.

To install, browse to: http://www.second411.com/blog/?p=15 and click the "Install Search Plugin" button. Needless to say, this only works with Firefox.

Thanks.

Tao Takashi was nice enough to point out that there was an error in the javascript preventing the Plugin from automatically loading. If you tried to grab the plugin, but it failed, please give it another go.

We're testing a plugin that will enable my new upcoming vendor kit to be compatable with this system.

I received quite a bit of good feedback on both the plugin and the site over the last 24 hours and put in place some changes that were requested:

- "Next" and "Back" buttons now appear on the top and bottom of results on the webpage
- "Last" renamed "Back" as it was confusing to some people
- Fixed some display errors
- Fixed parsing error happening on sim names with spaces "Serpent Isle"

The biggest problem still happening is that around 30% of the time what people are searching for can't be found. Mostly, it's people looking for things that shop owners haven't listed yet.

If any other shop owner wants to list their items (it's free and takes just a couple minutes to list your whole store). Go to the Second411 shop in Takalo and pickup an ItemBox.
