Default AFF Firefox search engine tool
For all of the fans of Firefox, who use the search engines in the top right corner (if you don't - please do, they are fantastic), I have a present for you - Your very own AFF search tool!

As I don't have webspace at the moment to host this (well I do, but I don't want to use it), I figured I'll guide you through it.

If anyone is wondering how I did this....its all a clever bit of script-kiddy trickery

These instructions are for Windows users... I don't know where Linux Firefox puts these files.
  • Okay, so firstly open Notepad.
  • Copy and paste the following stuff into Notepad.

<search
version="7.1"
name= Aff Search"
description "Search Ford Forums"
action="http://www.fordforums.com.au/search.php"
searchForm="http://www.fordforums.com.au/search.php"
method="GET"
queryCharset='UTF-8'
>


<input name="do=process&query" user >

<interpret
browserResultType='result'
resultListStart='Key Word(s):'
resultListEnd='Showing results'
resultItemStart='<a href="showthread.php?t'
resultItemEnd='</a>'
charset='UTF-8'
>
</search>
  • ...and save that file as aff.src in "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins"

Half way there, hang on..
  • Take the attached aff.gif and save it ("save image as") in the same directory (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins)
  • Close down all windows of FireFox open and reopen and you should see a little AFF icon in your search engine list!

Yay!

If anyone wants to zip that and host it somewhere, it would be helpful for others that can't follow the instructions above.

Enjoy!

I can, but I'd have to do it after work.
