[Needlesearch] Feature Request: Opera-like short search

[Belgabor]

(unfortunately this didn't go to the list, so this is a repost =) In the
meantime I have done some research on xul and I'm trying to implement it. If
it works I'll send a patch soonish)

Hi Vladislav,

I've been thinking a bit and found that that's probably true =)

My idea goes like this:
1) Generate a html/javascript stub for the search engine similar to the
sample attached
2) Put it in some default location. I'd say to put it in some subdir of the
users profile so it can be accessed by chrome://... I couldn't get this to
work, but I'm also a mozilla development newbie... Probably the dir has to
be registered in the rdf?
3) Generate a bookmark somewhere that points to it (e.g.
chrome://search/google.html?%s) with an apropriate keyword.
4) voilá =)

Maybe someone with more mozilla/javascript kung-fu can even make a universal
redirector.

On a further note it would be great for the firefox users if the
NeedleSearch toolbar could be made to integrate with the customisation
feature of firefox. What I'm getting at is if it could be made to work like
I proposed the only buttons truely needed to make it work would be 'add' and
'edit', which could easily be moved into an other toolbar =)

Cheers
Tobias
