Just want to confirm this works perfectly with Firefox 4.0 b3pre; I just downloaded it, dragged & dropped into FF window to install, and tested it. BAM!!

I have been using this plugin for so many years now (Since FF 1 or 2) : ) I remember searching on google relentlessly to finally discover this. Thanks White Shadow.

This is not being actively developed, no. Maybe if I’ll look into it if get a free moment sometime.

Is this still being developed? It seems like the ideal implementation, but I currently have problems with it (FF3.6) – seems like it works at first, but after I open more than one window it stops working. The error console shows ‘too much recursion’ errors.

It’s been a while since my previous post here, but a just weeks ago I got this Firefox (now I have v3.5.7) add-on: “Search Site 1.6, by DW-dev” Won’t work on Firefox versions older than v3.

Search Site 1.6 puts its own clickable, green icon inside the search field of the multi-engine Search Bar. If you click this green icon instead of the normal magnifying glass, you’ll be searching the currently displayed site for whatever text you placed in the Search Bar’s field – using whichever engine you’ve scrolled to.

The same green icon will appear in the context menu of the displayed page. Here it is usable after you’ve highlighted some in-page text to search for.

Sounds complicated – but really it isn’t. Check out the Firefox Add-on page for more clarity https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14381

Here you have to install new engine, quite unnecessary if you need to perform search once. There’s easier way – “Current Site Search” FireFox addon on mozilla site

I realised after a couple of days that after you have opened/closed multiple windows, this stops working (clicking on the search button does nothing). But the Mozilla plugin site now has the ‘Search Site’ plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14381) working for 3.5.x which does the same job.

No idea why that happens, but you could just download the .xpi and install it manually (drag & drop to FF should work).
