One click search engine install
February 22nd, 2009 | posted by SharmWeb
All browsers offers a built-in search bar with a list of search engines you can choose from. Besides the well-known generic search engines, their is a big offer of specialized SE's for BitTorrents, dictionaries, social networks, and so on. MyCroft Project offers a ONE click install for each of the desired search engines you want to add to your list.
JavaScript must be enabled to install a search plugin. If you have installed NoScript, you will need to allow MyCroft to run scripts. Use the original browsers search bar if your newly added search engine is not visible. Many external toolbars replace the original search bar with their own that you can't fully customize, for example the Google toolbar. Just uninstall or disable them and reactivate the original.
Click on the name of the SE you wish to add and you get presented a confirmation window.
I ran into this when the default Google kept me presenting the arabic version, based on my egyptian IP address. Thanks to MyCroft I was able to add Google US and the problem was solved. Of course I added also some other interesting SE's. Click on the link to go to the MyCroft pages. The listed plugins work both in Explorer and Mozilla.
Delicious Search
Sorts the list of results based on how many times other people bookmarked it. What other people find worth bookmarking might be of more interest for you too.
WordReference
Great dictionaries for definitions, translations and synonyms, with links to other dictionaries as well.
Usniff
Searches the main BitTorrent finders in one go. Clean and simple.
To avoid having to search for your search engine, limit the number you install.
