Localized Search in Firefox Search Box
Project Description
Firefox features a search box that can be customized to work with different search engines (e.g., Google, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, etc.). Most websites have their own search facilities, but the location of the search box on the page varies considerably. This project creates a mechanism for Firefox to pick up a web site's search mechanism and make it accessible to the user through the Firefox search box so that users have a consistent place to look for site-specific search.
Project Leader
Project Details
Release Target for v.01
- Research how the search extension currently works in the Firefox browser.
- Use a mechanism similar to RSS Autodiscovery, which utilizes the <link> tag from HTML and XHTML to identify a site's syndication feed, and determine whether or not a web site presently employs search functionality.
- Output a diagnostic message to standard out (the terminal window) indicating the presence or absence of search functionality.
Release Target for v.02
- Load the new localized search extension into the Firefox browser.
