CyberSearch is a very useful Firefox add-on that improves the search capabilities of the web browser. More precisely; It adds search options to the Firefox address bar. We previously covered the release of CyberSearch here on Ghacks. The developer has released a new version of the search add-on for Firefox that improves the site search options considerably.
Before Firefox users who had installed the add-on needed to specify the root url of the website they wanted to search with the core search keyword > in front of the command in the address bar. The term >ghacks.net windows would for instance initiate a Google search for the term Windows on the site ghacks.net
The change now is that the the root domain name is no longer needed in the search phrase if the user is already on the right website. The search parameter would therefor be >windows to search for the term windows on Ghacks.net if the site is the active website.
It is still possible to use the generic search parameter to search other websites, for instance to search Lifehacker or Download Squad while on our website. All the other features of the CyberSearch add-on are still there. Users who never heard about the add-on before can take a look at the following demonstration video for an overview.
The CyberSearch add-on can be downloaded directly at the Mozilla add-on repository.
