Scroogle search URL filter

Oddysey,

Quote:I am under the impression that Fox's plugins can be made by users, is that
so? Then, can't a plugin be reverse engineered by another user? Can you dig
into your particular Scroogle plugin, and see what's going on that makes it work?
It'd be nice to know.

The search plugins and the other plugins are very different from each other. The
search plugins are text files with extension .src, and a small image to be used as
an icon goes with each one. These images are either .gif files or .png files. I
used a Google search plugin text file to begin with, removed some lines, changed
the URL and saved the file under a new name. I made the icon by doing a screen
capture from the start page of Scroogle and then pasting it into Irfanview,
trimming it to leave only the "S", resizing to 16X16, and saving as a .gif.
Here is my Scroogle plugin (saved as scroogle.src):

Quote:# Mozilla/Scroogle plugin

<search
name="Scroogle"
description="Scroogle Search"
method="GET"
action="http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi/search"
queryEncoding="utf-8"
queryCharset="utf-8"
>

<input name="q" user>

<interpret
browserResultType="result"
charset = "UTF-8"
>
</search>

Incidentally, Scroogle uses "POST" on its page, not "GET", however the plugin did
not work with "POST".
