I recently told a couple of people about search plugins that I made for
mozilla based browsers (Firefox, TBB, Seamonkey, etc) and was advised
that those at tails-dev@ may be interested. They work for my needs;
perhaps someone else will also find them to have some sort of merit.
So...here they are. Attached are three search plugins:
* Tails ticket search. This is the same as a search that you'd
perform on Tails' Redmine page with the default options
selected
* Tails ticket search by number: It simply opens a url like
<https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/{ticket_number}>
* Tails home page search: Uses the xapian search engine on the
Tails homepage.
To use any of these, copy the desired search plugin to
`MOZILLA_BROWSER_PROFILE/searchplugins`. The search plugin will be
available upon the next browser start.
Default locations for `$[MOZILLA_BROWSER_PROFILE}/searchplugins`

When using the torbrowser-launcher package in Debian or Ubuntu:
`$HOME/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/${arch}/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/searchplugins`
In Iceweasel (and perhaps Firefox) in Linux:
`$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/RANDOMSTRING.default/searchplugins`
In Firefox in Windows:
`%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\RANDOMSTRING.default\searchplugins`
In Torbrowser in Tails:
`$HOME/.tor-browser/profile.default/searchplugins`
Note: This directory does not exist by default and would need to be.
created. These plugins will disappear after a reboot unless
persistence is manually enabled.
