Add any Search Box to Firefox Search


Firefox has several search engines build in which the user can use to search the web. Those are the big search engines with an option to add several more when following a link to the Firefox homepage. The Open Search Fox plugin for Firefox makes it even easier to add search engines, or search boxes, on almost any website to Firefox.

A new option has been added to the right-click menu after installing the Firefox extension. Whenever you right-click on a search box you get the option to “Add OpenSearch plugin”. If you select this option you see a short form where you can edit the name and description of the search form which will afterwards be added as a search engine to the search engines in Firefox.

This is great if you would like to add the possibility to search your favorite websites in Firefox directly. You may swap positions of the search engines by clicking on Manage Search Engines.
