I remember a while back somebody wanted a quick way to search FireflyFans.net rather than going to some search engine, specifying fff.net, and doing it that way.

Anyhoo...

I wrote a little plugin for Firefox to do it automatically. Since I don't have any sites to host this on, I'll just give you the text of the plugin.

EDIT: The site takes some of the script and turns it into actual html stuff on the site... when I figure out a way around this, I'll repost the script.

Just copy and paste that into a new text file, and save it with an ".src" extension, minus the quotes. You then drop this into your "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins\" folder, and start Firefox. If you're like me, and can't have a search plugin without an icon, just make a 15x15 pixel .jpg (I used the Blue Sun icon) and name it the same as your searchplugin. I used "fireflyfans.src" and "fireflyfans.jpg". Simplistic, but it works.

Hope this helps.

Shiny I should have learned how to do this a long time ago. I’ve had to search The Signal page the hard way every time I’m trying to figure out which show something was on.

Here’s a zip file with files to add The Signal, Firefly Fans.net & Serenity Movie.net
UPDATE added Firefly Talk & the Browcoat Board

http://www.triggerpoints.net/Junk/FirefoxSearch.zip

Just copy the files to "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins\"

I did mention the part where the engine overheats and we all die, right? Don't think I woulda left somethin' like that out.

That's really slick!

Thanks for putting those together. I also use several of the official plugins ( https://addons.mozilla.org/search-engines.php) so this fits in perfectly.

The other great site to include would be the Browncoat board...

The browncoat board seems to be down so I can't poke around to figure out if a plugin would have to search the whole domain or if it would have to be set for something more like serenitymovie.org/browncoats/forums When it comes back I'll add it to the zip file.

OK added Firefly Talk & the Browncoat Board didn’t take the time to find any neat graphics for them, but there in there.
