This first example has been cleaned up, and it should be pretty easy to duplicate for other add-ons.  Here's the install kit...
 
Any more thoughts on whether this whole add-on thing makes sense? 
Glenn, I downloaded & executed the exe, it installs finely in the right directory (how does the NSIS fetch its name BTW ?), but even after a "!" reload, I get nothing... "?googlespell" returns a "no matches" alert box, and "googlespell albart einstein" takes me to google to search this whole string.
 
Don't I have to update some .js or .exe file, too ? For instance, I entered my Google API licence key nowhere, but normally I should get a warning, shouldn't I ?
 
<update>
Added
 
googleLicenseKey='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx';
 
in localprefs.js, where 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx' is of course my licence key. No change
</update>

Does it still not show up in the menu?  The latest install should put it in the 'Search the Web' category.

Here's another install, that should pop up a message if Google doesn't return any searches.

It should show up in the 'Others' category now (just changed to 'Search the Web').  Attached is an install for it.  You might want to check it out.

i also noticed it doesn't have a <category> tag and doesn't show up in help or the menu.
 
is this intentional?

ok i've grabbed all the stuff (as of 12:15pm EST) and signed up for my google account.  then i put the setting in my preferences.js and reloaded the toolbar.
 
entering:
 
googlespell alburt instine
 
does nothing.  well it does something as i can see traffic go across my network connection and the DQSD text area gets cleared.  any help?
 
thanks,
JB

Right, that's the way I've set it up now.  The subdirectory and the XML file need to have the same name also.

check that...
 
when adding addons the _XML_ file goes in the subdirectory for the addon.

to be clear...
 
when adding addons the mol file goes in the addon subdirectory for the addon??
 
 
...just storing this info up for some FAQ.
 
thanks,
JB
To create an add-on search/feature:
 
1. create a subdirectory with the name of the add-on under the addons subdirectory
2. create an .xml file with the same name as the addon, with the same format as the searches.
