I don't know if anyone has done this yet. I'll try to explain it as clearly as possible for those of you who are not super computer-savvy. This is a search plugin, like the Google search, for your Firefox client, that will search the HRWiki right from your browser, like the Wikipedia or Google plugins they offer. There is a pulldown menu where you can add other search engines. If you add this hrwiki.src (the code for the search engine) and this hrwiki.png image (the little icon for the search engine) you can search hrwiki right from the search plugin.
Here are examples if you don't know what I mean:
https://addons.mozilla.org/search-engines.php
First, download these 2 files and save them where you can find them easily:
The code file:
hrwiki.src (right-click and save as)
The search icon:
(right-click and save as)
Once you have downloaded them, you need to put them in your searchplugins folder which should be located something like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(some letters and numbers).default\searchplugins
Put the 2 files, hrwiki.src and hrwiki.png in that folder, restart Firefox and voila, you should be ready to search hrwiki right from your browser. Use the pull-down menu and its listed alphabetically with your other search plugins.
I'll moniter this thread if anyone has a question, or you can PM or email me if you need assistance. You can also take the source code, copy/paste it to Notepad, then save as ALL FILES (not as a .txt file so it will preserve the .src extension) as hrwiki.src in the same directory. Here is the source code:

If someone has already done this, I apologize, I searched for Firefox and Search Engine and found no results.
