UK search bar for Firefox - price comparison sites, hmv, play.com

Options
heyas,

long time lurkers first post! dont know if theres many FireFox users out there, if not then it really is a great browser, one reason being theres a little search bar in the top right corner for goole and a few other sites

i stumbled across this site which has links for a few of the big shops in the UK and they all go into the search bar, seems quite cool. Quick access to the bargains :D

** We have noticed that the CD Wow link on your page contains a hidden affiliate id link. If any others contain hidden aff links, please remove these aswell - Edited by Abuse Controller **

Hope this is useful for someome.

Mods -> not really sure if this was the right bit to post this, apolagies if it should have been in the techy stuff bit, please move it if its inapropriate.

    I've removed ALL the affiliated links (each of the ones on that site were affiliated) from the search bar code and reupped them here.

    I also made a couple of essential ones for searching for dvd bargains - dvdpricecheck.co.uk, find-dvd.co.uk and dvdbargains.net

    And there's a link on the page detailing how to remove them too.
  • excellent tool, thanks. But does anyone know how to get rid of some of the options on the search list (some of them seem to come with the browser)?

    I can't get those links to work.

    I usually go to

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins

    for the plugin you don't want, delete the .src file and the gif associated with it

    then I restart firefox - that gets rid of the ones I don't want.

    sorry bs7. The link to the page about unistalling plugins wouldn't work earlier.

    They're okay now.

    Thanks for the plugins :)

    Okay guys

    i've added a new one to my page which should simply search the MoneySavingExpert's "Bargain Buys, Sassy Shopping and Fantastic Freebies" forums :D
  • great. firefox crashes quite a bit for me, some kind of video driver issue (provoked by numbers and initials in search engines?) and raising the files value in config.sys, but ns7.2 won't install properly and I am no IE person so I am sticking with it and it is such versatility that I appreciate.
