			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.firefoxfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/osf.jpg' alt='OpenSearchFox' align="right"/>For me, creating a new Firefox search for the search box everybody has in the upper right hand corner of your browser became harder once Mozilla moved towards the open search standard.  Since then I haven&#8217;t bothered much with creating searches for it &#8211; but I found an extension that might get me back in the game.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3698">OpenSearchFox</a> extension allows you to quickly and easily create a search plugin from any web site.  Now after you first install this extension, you might be a little lost with what to do.  All you need to do is right click on any search form (like the one found on <a href="http://www.firefoxfacts.com">FirefoxFacts.com</a> for an example) and then you will have a new menu item to select to create your search.  You can also change the icon for the search plugin too &#8211; just in case the favicon for the site isn&#8217;t &#8220;doing it for you&#8221; or it does not have one.</p>
