Searches for various deviantART pages through Google. Features:
Now with the Beta Search included.Corresponding icons by each search.Anyone who is running FireFox can use it.You can search for the following: Deviants Deviations Help/FAQ News Prints Journals Deviations or anything that has deviantart.com in its url!!
You can search specific catagories now, just type in the category before the keywords (ex: ' photomanipulation suzi9mm' gives you manips with Jen's work).Includes the original deviant art in-site search!

How do you use this plugin after its installed?
π: 0 β©: 1
you reopen firefox and then in the top right hand corner you can click on the little icon and then a list of search plugins pops up and then you choose the one you want to use such as 'dA news' type your query in the blank space and hit Enter
google search should show up

OMG, nice job over there. I really hated that I couldn't search the deviations with keywords. Nice job once again.

Hmm...I was really excited about using this, given the recent pull of the search function, but I don't know that it works for Firefox 1.0.4. I followed the installation information exactly, but when I restart Firefox, I don't see the new search engine functions in my little search bar. I'm on Windows and Firefox 1.0.4, as stated before.

hmmm
thats odd
i have the same version of firefox and it they work
could you try installing again
makes ure that they are in the same folder as the plugins that came with friefox
(you should see google and amazon in there)

hmmm
could it be that you have the most recent version of the software installed somewhere else ?
do this:
go to that folder:
slect amazon's two files
CTRL+C
CTRL+X
restart firefox
if they amazon search is not in the submenu you got the right folder (you can CTRL+V the items back into the folder)
if the amazon search is there then you need to find the correct searchplugins folder (maybe you installed the new version of firefox elsewhere?)

It's the right folder. It's got a search engine I installed just days ago there (a Wikipedia search extension). Being anal, I always intall in the same places on my hard drive.
Hmm, I'll search around a while, otherwise I'll just leave it for another day.

That is so weird. Maybe one plugin is messing up the rest. You are the first to say that my plugin does not work. Try this;
create a backup folder on your desktop
close firefox
go to the searchplugins folder and move every plugin to this folder
now opwn firefox
see whats going on in the search box
close firefox
put some plugins from the backup folder to the original folder
open firefox
see whats going on

omggg... this is the best deviation ever!!!! i love you for making this!!

Extremely useful, especially now that the official has yet remained out of use.

I dont think we are going to see the search feature come back online until Aug7th...
spread the good word if you get alot of usage out of the plugin
π: 0 β©: 1
I think I'm going to mention A LOT of these handy stuffs in my next journal when I write one.
π: 0 β©: 1
haha
awesome
well have fun
and let me know if you have any problems with the search plugin
π: 0 β©: 1
I will.
You wouldn't happened to know a plugin that puts lots of handy tools above every comment, journal etc. and by a simple click you get the codes for different stuff you can put in there, like thml and smileys for example? I had it but then I reformatted and lost it. Can't even remember the name anymore. x.o
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah
its called ummmm deviant plus ?
[link] maybe
π: 0 β©: 1
That's exactly the one. Thanks.

Do you know if this would function with the most recent version of the Netscape browser, which has a setting that lets it function like Mozilla Firefox?
π: 0 β©: 1
hmmm
i dunno
there is only one way to find out .... to try it
see if there is a 'searchplugins' directory in your netscape folder
π: 0 β©: 1
There is! Shall I go for it, then?
π: 0 β©: 1
Alright, it definitely works with netscape 7.2 and below, but with the new one, there is no searchplugins folder, only a just plain-old plugins folder... Any assumptions on whether it would work if I crammed the files for this in there?
π: 0 β©: 1
i have no idea
you might want to google to see if you can get to some how to
just do a search for "search plugins for netscape ___" where the blank space is the version number
π: 0 β©: 1
Alright, with too much effort expended, I have figured out how it works, and it has to be a completely different file type... xpi or something. *beats things*
π: 0 β©: 1
oh
i tried to make one of those
but i failed miserably
and dont want to make it again
π: 0 β©: 1
*pats you* It's okay. I don't want to bring back horrible memories. X3
π: 0 β©: 1
This is SUCH a good idea! You rock for making it
