Archlinux file searchplugin for firefox

DonVla · 2008-01-23 17:21:03

save this as arch-file.xml (or a name of your choice) in your firefox searchplugins directory:

<SearchPlugin xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/" xmlns:os="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<os:ShortName>ArchLinux File Search</os:ShortName>
<os:Description>ArchLinux File Search</os:Description>

Because your search is looking for packages. The search posted above looks for files in packages.

Hm, is this searchplugin still supposed to be working?

I used it to search for firefox, which turned up nothing. I also tried looking for /usr/bin/firefox, which equally didn't return any results.

Is it required to change the Google URL somehow?

Cheers,
Michael

It's probably not working anymore because we currently have lost the ability to display filelists on our website.

It might be worth mentioning this here :

Since the filelists are on all mirrors now, I think it makes sense to use them
