I'd be up for seeing a competing Gopher search engine with full-text search and itemtype filtering. It would remind me of that Yahoo/Google battle that once took place. It's a battle that's now repeating in the Firefox browser now that Yahoo! is the default search engine there now... With that being said, I am trying to make a Firefox search plugin work for Veronica-2... Here's what I got so far: gopher://gopher.veroneau.net/hgophersearch.html gopher://gopher.veroneau.net/0veronica.src I first tried to use the "gopher://" URL in the HTML file which defines the Search plugin, but Firefox didn't like that. So, I then updated the HTML to point to an HTTP-based search plugin. It now shows up as "Add Veronica-2 Search" in my Firefox search bar. But, when I try to add it, it failed with a message saying that Firefox was unable to download the search plugin... Any ideas on how to make this work? I've even tried to put an XML file into my firefox profile directory...
