Google-by-keyboard Firefox search plugin for Australia

June 14th, 2008 | Category: firefox

If you haven’t seen it yet, Google has a project in its labs for the navigation of search results with keyboard shortcuts. Its great for geeks who love the keyboard.

Well a reader at LifeHacker knocked out the search plugin for Firefox. I took that and tweaked it for the Australian search engine for those times you need sumthin a little more local. So download it and stick it in your Firefox profile searchplugins folder. Then change the search engine in the search bar to be ‘Google by keyboard (AU)’.

Remember it doesn’t search in au domain by default, it just means the search results will have the ‘pages from Australia’ radio button under the Google search box.

    Hello,

    I’m happy to find this article about search plugins in your blog. I think you might be interested to use our search plugin also.

    So, I’m inviting you to try our plugin searchGBY. It is a plugin for the major browsers that helps you in your search by combining all results from the major browsers into one.

    If you have questions about our plugin, don’t hesitate to contact me.

    Leo

    When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation
    but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try
    to get the hang of it!
