UofA Library Search Plugins for Mozilla-based Browsers

The search functionality of Mozilla-based browsers (such as Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape) may be extended via plugins. This is a collection of search engine plugins specific to the UofA Library's database (Sabio). To install a plugin, simply click on the link.

Building these plugins is quite trivial. If there's a Sabio search that you frequently conduct, let me know and I'll whip up an extension for you (or, better yet, write it yourself and I'll host it here).

These seem to work just fine. But if you find a bug, please let me know.

Uninstallation

To uninstall the plugins, you'll need to manually delete the *.src and *.png files from Mozilla's searchplugins/ directory. For assistance in locating this directory see http://mycroft.mozdev.org/deepdocs/installing.html#manual
