Hooked on FireFox yet??

From the University of Toronto:
Note a couple of PubMed plugins for FireFox.

Hi all,
here are some Mozilla Firefox searchplugins.
In case you don't know, Firefox is a complete rebuild of netscape navigator. It's fast,
small and generally works very well - but be warned, it's still beta software.

These plugins also mostly work in the Mozilla and Netscape 7 sidebars.

Simply click on a link to install the searchplugin:
Alternatively, here are the files, zipped for your pleasure.

(note, you need installation rights for the searchplugins directory on your machine...
just try clicking, if it doesn't work, this may be the problem)

PubMed Search Plugin: Search PubMed for papers (this uses the frames versions of the search page, and doesn't work correctly in the mozilla or netscape-7 sidebar, but it's fine for firefox quick searches.)

PubMed Search Plugin: Search PubMed for papers (this one uses the text search page, good for the mozilla/netscape-7 sidebar.)

UofT e-journal Search Plugin: Find a journal at U of Toronto

Teoma Web Search Plugin: In case you get tired of google

Search rpmfind.net: For those of us too lazy to compile

Search Canada411: Find people in Canada (lastname only, first 500)

Search Canada411 Commercial: Find companies in Canada

Find stuff on ebay (USA): Get that fish-shaped toothbrush you've always wanted!

Search amazon.com (USA): Find that book about fish-shaped toothbrushes you've always wanted!

Search USPTO patents: Search for patents on fish-shaped toothbrushes!

To uninstall these, just delete the "plugin-name.src" and "plugin-name.gif"
files from the /MozillaFirefox/searchplugins/ directory.

These should mostly work for mozilla and Netscape 7.x sidebar searches as well.
Comments and plugin requests are welcome.
