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 Details
v.01
- Create an entry in Firefox's about:config to toggle the feature on (1) or off (0). By default it would be off. - Test if the entry worked by displaying the search string on main window if the feature is turned on.
This may use a mechanism similar to feed autodiscovery.
