Firefox plugin for UIC phone book
I was marveling at how much I have come to depend on FireFox’s built in search engine feature this morning and decided to whip up a quick search plugin of my own for the phone book at UIC (my employer, in case you didn’t know).
It turns out this is much simpler than I expected it to be. The docs are right here if you want to take a crack at it yourself some time.
You can install my plugin by visiting the install page (Wordpress doesn’t like j-script it seems, hence the other page).
One note; it currently searches only based on name, not netID or department. Since 99% of the time I’m looking up someone’s e-mail address it serves my purposes. If you have an interest in a version of the plugin that searches by the other criteria drop a line here and I’ll gladly hook you up.
Oh, and I know the icon looks like a bananna. I made it yellow because my phone is yellow, deal with it.
