I installed your extension (v. 1.0.2) with no problems on songbird 1.0rc2. However, when I removed the extension from the add-ons menu and restarted songbird, the google search box was still listed. It was removed once I manually removed it using the 'manage search engine list'

Totally useful for anyone who ever performs a web search ever in Songbird. Why isn't this included by default?!
A+!

could someone make one of these but for a search engine not owned by google, yahoo, or msn? seeing as how google has announced theyre going to begin censoring results i don't see much point in it's use anymore.

@juggalostoney, the INSTALL button will appeared grayed out for any add-on that is not registered to work with the version of Songbird you are using. In this case, Google Search is registered to work with Songbird 0.7 -> 1.0.*. If you are using a build before 0.7 or a build 1.1 or later, you will not be able to install this addon.

That said, I have made a mental note to update this add-on to support 1.2.*.

Cheers!

@knightabraxas, yes someone could. This add-on is rather simple. It just adds an OpenSearch xml file for Google to Songbird. You could simply take this add-on, extract it, add whatever OpenSearch xml file you want and repackage it into an xpi. Voila!

I am working on a torrent-based add-on that does this exactly for 5 different torrent sites.

In fact, you do not even need an add-on to do this. There is a searchplugins folder in the Songbird install directory. You can copy any OpenSearch xml file into this folder and Songbird will add the search engine automatically to your list of available search engines.

You can already search many plugins and create your own as in firefox.

You may have missed my post above.

Browse in songbird to:

http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html

or

http://www.searchplugins.net/pluginlist.aspx

Using Songbird 1.4.0b3, Build 1303 (20091007151134) and
I just gotta have a working NoScript. So I edited NoScript 1.9.9.15.

Here's the unofficial NoScript 1.9.9.15 I'm using with Songbird 1.4.* : addon-722a-latest.xpi

Disclaimer: If you know nothing about xpi files wait for ashughes to release the official Songbird version.
