Firefox Search Add-on Thott/Allakhazam/MMOwned set up+more

[qITIp]

From my time scanning forums I often found myself having to refer to certain sites over and over for many reasons. Tired of copy pasting in different sites/google/windows I found a helpful add-on with some nice potential. Originally I applied this for bodybuilding.com, but I found myself wanting a WoW version as well. It allows you to highlight text and search a site via a URL building.

I will be using Thottbot and Alakazam in this first guide. MMOwned and various other uses beyond WoW in the second post.


1. Download

Go here and download this addon
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1399


2. Install/Options Page

Install and restart firefox then through either below way get to the options for this addon.
(highlight any text > right click >find using... > Options)
(Tools (up top on FF bar) > Add-ons > Advanced URL Builder > Options button)


3. Set Up Search Function

There will be two tabs up top. URLs and Misc. Choose Misc.
Using this set up below will open the built URL in a new tab, plus I can share more searches I have made.




4. Adding a Site

Now click URLs

You can click the default URLs provided and press delete or keep them for use. It has no bearing on the progress, I chose to delete them so my pictures don't have them.

Press Add and it will look like below.



Double click the "New Item" and put in Thottbot
Double click the "http://#*#*#" and paste in Thottbot: World of Warcraft

Press Ok (close Add-ons if you used the Tools to get to options)

Highlight the text: saronite ore
Right click it
Hover over Find using...
Select Thottbot
Look at new tab
Say woot I hope


5. Adding Allakhazam

Get back to options and press Add again. This time use Allakhazam for name and Search :: World of Warcraft :: Allakhazam.com for the url. Press ok and close addon window

Test on the text saronite ore again.





Here is my original post Firefox bb.com search/conversion tool (more as i update) - Bodybuilding.com Forums.

Hopefully with a full understanding from the first post I can just provide URLs and descriptions.

MMOwned Search Filler
(disregard color differences, it was the only way I could close some gaps that kept popping up in the urls)
The URLs need H in front of them. I messed up the forum post parameters ><

Sets up a search ofhttp://www.mmowned.com/forums/world-warcraft/ and child forums of word selected. Forums are rather tricky to create a search url, probably a security issue.

Currancy
Testing to see how it follows real changes*










This addon really comes down to what you do and deal with often, then it really shines in its uses. I might take some requests if anyone has some.
