A quick reminder about a wonderful search tool for FIrefox I wrote about in February. I think it’s worth mentioning again since Firefox has MANY new users.
NeedleSearch is a toolbar app that allows you to quickly and easily (two clicks) add just about any web engines search power by just entering the word “NeedleSearch” into a search box. It’s even possible to do multifield searching.
More info and examples in my SearchDay article: A Better Search Tool for Finding Needles in Haystacks.
Almost forgot. Do you use IE? Want the same “add any engine” functionality that NeedleSearch offers? The Copernic Meta Toolbar allows the user to add any web engine to the toolbar. Instead of entering “NeedleSearch” enter “addengine.” You’ll see how it works on lower right side of this page.
