Having a custom search to the website is not new as there are a lot of sites where you can locate a small search box similar to the search bar here on this sites top right position. But what if you want to add your favorite search bar to your Mozilla Firefox browser. If I say frankly this is also very easy only you have to know the right codes required to do the desired job.

So to get it done open note pad and paste the following code given in red with bold letters

<search
name=”Name_Of_Search_Engine”
method=”GET”
action=”URL_Of_Search_Engine_Result_Page”
queryCharset=”utf-8″
>
<input name=”search_parameter” value=”Value_of_parameter_required_to_carry_out_the_search”>
<input name=”q” user>
</search>

Now replace Name_Of_Search_Engine with your favorite search engine like in case of mine it is Google.com and save this file as .src extension instead of the default extension .txt use by notepad (Note that this is very important) to the location at “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins”.

That’s it restart the firefox and you will have your custom search ready…
