Google Desktop Search in Firefox via Mycroft
I went ahead and created a Mycroft plugin for the Google Desktop Search utility. It requires slightly more work to install than the standard Mycroft plugin (three short steps instead of one), so I can’t submit it to the official Mycroft website. Thus, I offer it here. I don’t use my allocated bandwidth anyway.
Installation instructions are included in the ZIP file:
Google Desktop Search Plugin for Mozilla Firefox (2.11 KB)
For those of you that have no idea what I’m talking about: The plugin that I wrote allows you to search your computer’s hard drive using the new Google Desktop Search tool released yesterday by typing your search query into the search box in Firefox. It also displays 100 results by default, as opposed to the 10 that the standard GDS shows. I noticed people were requesting this. Enjoy. Let me know if you have issues with it.
Of course, this requires that you already have GDS installed on your system. You can download it here.

Hi Danny. Congrats on beating me to it by building GDS search for Mycroft. I built it into our Firefox toolbar and was hoping to be the first out with searching from the FF browser. Good job.
