Dogpile.com Mozilla bar plugin

This is the beta of a plugin for Dogpile.com that goes in the upper right hand corner. Dogpile is a search engine that combines Google, Yahoo!, Ask Jeeves, etc. searches all combined on one page. Here is the code needed for the Dogpile.src file...

Copy and paste the code into a notepad file and save.
Change the extension from .txt to .src .
An icon (Dogpile.gif) [16x16] can be found here.

Place both the .src file and the icon in this folder ->
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins

Code:

# Dogpile plugin for Mozilla + Firefox

<SEARCH 
   name="Dogpile"
   description="Dogpile Search"
   method="GET"
   action="http://www.dogpile.com/info.dogpl/search/redir.htm"
>

<input name="advanced=1&top=1&nde=1&qcat=web&q_all" user>

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

</search>

This is a beta and my first attempt at any kind of Mozilla plugin. So all I know is that it comes back with results which is more than I can say for previous attempts 10 minutes ago. Let me know what you think and any impovements for it.

 

Hi MakoFusion,

I just tested your plugin ... and it works great. No issues at all. Good Job.

I got tired of the Google one... As powerful as Google may be I did not want to keep left clicking to check other search engines. And I know that Dogpile.com already fetches from so many of them... Finally I can get Google.com off as my home page and go about just using the top right hand bar for one ultimate search.

 

Did what you wrote and it works without probs
Cheers,

Gerard

 

I tried it and I still get google.

 

I've had a lot of luck with Dogpile in the past, when Google turned up little, or nothing.
