I apologize for not approving your comment earlier, it was marked as spam.

I’m glad to see your tool! I searched forever trying to find MSDN search for Firefox - I didn’t realize that I could have added it all along.

It doesn’t seem like my search plugin and your search plugin are much different, but I’m switching over to your immediately.

I’m sure getting changes to the MSDN site aren’t that easy to push through, but perhaps you could advertise this feature a little more on the results page or something?

Thanks for the heads up on OpenSearch as well, I’m going to look into making a feature for SharePoint sites to support OpenSearch.

Is your plugin different from what you can already get by adding MSDN Search as an OpenSearch provider? To see what we offer, visit any MSDN Search page (e.g. http://search.msdn.microsoft.com/) and drop down the list of search engines next to to the search box (this works in both IE and Firefox) and choosing the appropriate menu item:
- “Add Search Providers > Search MSDN” (IE)
- “Add Search MSDN” (FireFox)

BTW, this works because MSDN Search supports the OpenSearch standard (http://www.opensearch.org/Home) along with the part of that standard which allows browsers to auto-discover available search providers when you visit a search site. So adding MSDN Search to your browser only takes 2-3 clicks. Cool, eh?
