An AnthroSource search plugin for Firefox

After reading Kerim’s tutorial on “how to Google AnthroSource”:http://savageminds.org/2005/11/28/googling-anthrosource/ I tried using both Google and AnthroSource’s own built-in search function and while each have their strengths, I think overall I prefer using Google as Kerim suggests. So I created a very quick and very dirty “Firefox search plugin for Googling AnthroSource”:http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=anthrosource&submitform=Search You can download it from the link above or go to the ‘add engine’ option in the bottom of the search pane in the upper right hand corner of your Firefox browser.

In my Copious Free Time I’ll try to adapt it for Safari and Explorer, although I don’t know if Microsoft allows Explorer to be that useful. Even further down the road maybe these sorts of third-party tools for AnthroSource will grow. Anyway give it a shot and see if it is useful and let me know if it is broken for you — it works fine for me.
