Now that I’m back in FF, I thoroughly recommend two
FF extensions:
surf canyon which allows you to fine tune google results
and get more of the same type through their bullseye; surf canyon starts recommending results too
and
juice, which allows you to highlight a search term (s)
and through a mouse gesture to get results to open up
in a right side loading sidebar; it seems to read my
mind. You can also highlight videos and photos for later.

It seems to me that you omitted one very original and very powerful firefox searching tool: lookpicks which is hosted at lookpicking.com.

It’s a server based search engine repository, where you select your search engine from a list which is specific for you.

It’s delicious meets open-search-fox meets foxmarks altogether.

I highly recommend this piece of originality. and I’m sure to test at least one or two of your suggestions too.

Thanks for the post and this great site!

Thanks for your article and responsiveness.

I vacillate between firefox and chrome.
And, miss FF’s versatility and search options.
But, have added several bookmarklets, specifically designed for chrome, in a folder added to my bookmarks bar in chrome.

So far, several
of the bookmarklets mentioned in your article (search within domain and wayback machine) seem to function within chrome.

A request for you coders out there, how about
making some more search oriented bookmarklets
and/or extensions duplicating FF extensions.

You’ll be famous, if not rich!

Ann,

This is a very cool list. I have already been using the Kall Out for a couple of weeks. That one is really cool!

Is there any way I can change my comments guys, a small correction has to be made, it should be “so that” instead of “cus” in above comment. Please make a provision to correct comments.
