Few days back, I wrote search plugin for Firefox/IE7. The job was to search from the web browser without logging in to the search engine website. Firefox already has few plugin ( google, yahoo etc) and more are scattered through out the web world.

Writing the search plugin is quite simple. It’s actually a simple XML file. Few links which you can refer to, if you ever need to write your own search plugin.
