SearchMark Firefox Plugin Enters Wider Release
A while back I announced SearchMark, a Firefox plugin which automatically creates a Google Custom search engines for you based on your browser history and bookmarks. At the time I was only distributing the plugin through searchmark.org. However, yesterday I published it to addons.mozilla.com. I personally think this plugin is really cool. (But I would, I wrote it..) The idea is this: I often visit a website I think has good information, but I either forget to bookmark it, or I bookmark it can can’t find it in my bookmark list later. I always wished there was someway to search the text of sites you’ve visited or the text of sites you’ve bookmarked to find these old pages. For example, I recently bought an iPhone adaptor for my car from a company called Grom. However, I needed some support on the installation and couldn’t find their website again. So, I searched through my history and found it again rather quickly. (It seems I was accidently searching on Gorm, which is something else entirely.)
