I created a search plugin for firefox that runs a search on webmaster world. I'd be willing to share it if anyone wants it.

c/p this into notpad and save it as webmasterworld.src

browserResultType="result"
charset = "UTF-8"
resultListStart="<!--a-->"
resultListEnd="<!--z-->"
resultItemStart="<!--m-->"
resultItemEnd="<!--n-->"
>
</search>

you can then save the favicon to our desktop(or where ever) then open it in paint and save it as a gif titled webmasterworld.gif.

add both these files to your searchplugins located in your firefox folder.

There's a tiny javascript snippet that will install those (find it on mycroft). It would be great if Brett could rig this up (I could do it - but then I couldn't like to it for you guys due to TOS).

I like it! Is there a way to move it up on the list of engine options? There it is on the bottom. I want to move it up a few rungs.

it's fairly easy to do.

a.Type about:config in the location bar
b.Type browser.search.order in the filter
c.Either change the value on browser.search.order.2 to Webmaser World or create a new one with the number equal to the position you want it.(right click to create a new one)
