LORE Firefox Search Plugin
« on: February 11, 2009, 05:08:32 am »
Something for those of you who use Firefox - an extension to the search box in the toolbar that allows you to search the Layonara Online Reference Encyclopedia without even having to navigate to the site!

Just unzip the attached file into (if you installed Firefox into its default location) [noparse]C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\searchplugins[/noparse], and restart Firefox, and a LORE searchbox will have been added to the dropdown search engine list.

(A boon to character approvers, character submitters, and anyone who needs a handy LORE reference during a quest!)

LORE has actually had such a thing since it went live.  It's a little non-obvious, however.

Go to any LORE page and click the "Query" button.  Scroll down to where it says:

"Add LORE Query to your Quick Search!"

...and click the link!

...why so it has.

I feel rather silly now.  Carry on!

Darkstorme, I would have never figured that out without this post so no need to feel silly.

Well, I mean, I feel silly for writing up the plugin when one already exists! :)  But even so, thanks.

Yeah, no need to feel silly. I think this feature is actually documented in the thread announcing LORE, but most people don't go looking for that anymore.

In any case, it's a good "heads up" for the feature. :)

Hey DS, even though there was already one, that is rather cool that you took the time to code this. Wish I had the skills to do what you do. Two Thumbs up!

    DS got the skills! I wish I still had the motivation to do a bit of coding. I enjoyed  my IT school days: HTML, JAVA, MYSQL, VB, C++ and the like...

    I still use mundane Vista IE :o
