I'd like to make a mozilla search engine (you know the ones in the search box in the top right hand corner) for my site http://www.worldinagrainofsand.co.uk and I've been trying for the last two hours!

If anyone can produce me a working .SRC File I'll give them 2 Billion ICS.

It'll be a search for the forums and/or the site it's self. There are search engines built into the site and so it is possible- it's just not working for me.

Here's the page on how to do it:

Unfortunately, Firefox and friends can’t handle search plugins that use the POST method that you need. (See bug 66363) You must use the GET method in your plugins. The difference between the two is that GET puts the information in the URL, while POST sends the information transparently.

Search for “asdf” with the GET method:

Code: Select all

http://example.com/searchresults.php?term=asdf[code]

With the POST method:
[code]http://example.com/searchresults.php[code]
There is still a “term” with the value of “asdf”, but it was sent separately instead of being included in the URL.  This is useful for long bodies of text and sensitive information.
