I didn’t used to use the little search box in Firefox. Then I realized how much time I could save by not having to load the start\/search pages for Google, Wikipedia, Technorati, Google blogs, Google news, and all the other sites I search.<\/p>\n

Recently, I made a Google Co-op page that searches over RedMonk content<\/a>. It’s handy for searching over all 4 of us, plus I added in DrunkAndRetired.com<\/a> and Anne’s other content on her blog<\/a> and WWD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In short, I wanted a narrowed search engine to use when I’m thinking, “I know of the the RedMonks\/Nun wrote something about…” So far, it’s worked out well.<\/p>\n

So, the natural step is to create an OpenSearch descriptor so you can add that RedMonk search to Firefox<\/a>. I did just that (here’s the XML<\/a>), but you can also use the auto-discovery feature in Firefox.<\/p>\n

When you go to my blog<\/a>, the little down-arrow on the search widget will be highlighted in blue. Clicking on it, you’ll see the option to Add Redmonk Search. Click that, and you’ll have RedMonk at your mouse-tips:<\/p>\n

If you can think of other URLs I need to add to the search, suggest them below.<\/p>\n
