+ | ====== Mantis Search Plugin for Mozilla FireFox ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Firefox search bar is a very useful feature. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Preview Image of Mantis Search Plugin | ||

+ | {{http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | A Firefox search plugin is implemented via two files: | ||
+ | - name.src: A mandatory XML file that has the definition of the plugin. | ||
+ | - name.png: An image file that is 16x16 pixels (other formats are supported, e.g.: .jpg and .gif). This file is optional. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Following is the content of the .src file: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | # Mozilla/ | ||
+ | <search | ||
+ | name=" | ||
+ | description=" | ||
+ | method=" | ||
+ | action=" | ||
+ | queryEncoding=" | ||
+ | queryCharset=" | ||
+ | |||
+ | <input name=" | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The src file above defines the name and description of the plugin. It also defines the form that will post the user input to Mantis. The form is defined by choosing an action domain, the post method, and the encoding. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Says ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Place the ' | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Download now the src and image file. ( just copy the source but where is the icon? | ||
+ | |||
+ | These are tested on Firefox v1.0.6. (and the source on FireFox v2.0.0.3 ) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | When this feature is integrated directly into Mantis, the following features will be available: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * It will be possible to auto-install the search plugin using Javascript. | ||
+ | * The plugin will point to the Mantis installation it was installed from. | ||
+ | * Support for auto-update of the search plugin. | ||
+ | * Support for search for text, rather than just searching by issue id. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It would be nice if someone can re-do the same plug-in for Internet Explorer 7 which has the same search bar concept. | ||
