Add Google and Amazon Search to Firefox’s Awesome Bar with Searchery
By Josh | June 17, 2008
If you have switched to Firefox 3 by now, which just released today, then you probably know about the new Awesome Bar. The Awesome Bar is the term for the location bar in Firefox 3. The Awesome Bar is great in my opinion. I really like how you can search through bookmarks and history to find what you are looking for. However, wouldn’t it be great if you could add Google search to it?
Searchery is a fairly new Firefox addon that is currently in experimental mode. In order to download it, you must log in to the Firefox addon site. Searchery adds the results from Google search and Amazon search to your Awesome Bar. This really comes in handy when you are trying to remember the website address of a certain website. If you start to type in a web address, it will list related addresses from Google search. You could also perform searches through the Awesome Bar, and it will list the top results from Google and Amazon.
This is definitely one of my must have addons for Firefox 3. I’ve been reading various articles about people not liking the Awesome Bar, but I’m not quite sure how it couldn’t be of use. I think it is a great improvement over the old location bar.
