Does anyon know how to change the google search panle in Firebird/fire fox to search Australian web pages first? I fscked if I want to wade through piles of US tripe.
I've been wanting to know how to add other engines there too (I miss my imdb searches!). You inspired me to work it out. :-)
You can install a firefox search plugin:
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/quick/google.html , grep for Australia, click the linky thing. You need to be root to install plugins. And yes, the Google Australia plugin searches google.com.au, and specifies pages from Australia only.
You can get to the search plugin page by clicking the icon thingy in the search box to pull down the menu, and choosing "Add engines...".
The search button extension (http://www.pikey.me.uk/mozilla/?extension=sb) is also awesome. Great for opening search results in new tabs.
