[edit] Firefox

If you are using Firefox 2.0 or newer, just open the dropdown menu of you search bar on some web sites. For exemple, in this page, there should be an entry Add Gentoo Linux Wiki (English), it lets you download and install plugins automatically.

[edit] Search engines

When you are on some gentoo pages, you can see that you can add search engines plugins for Firefox. In this page, you can add the one for "Gentoo Linux Wiki". On the http://gentoo.org main page, you can add "Gentoo list archives". On http://forums.gentoo.org, you can add "Gentoo Website", "Gentoo Forums" (post & topics), and "Gentoo Bugzilla" (bug no & bug summary). On http://gentoo.zapto.org you'll be able to add a searchengine plugin for this website (search by description, search revdeps). In the next section, you'll see how to add search engine for gentoo-portage.

You can add keywords for them, to quickly search "gw editing search bar" "gpo thing", or "gzo what", "revdep app-shells/bash"...

There are more search engines, you can find those on mycraft: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=gentoo&submitform=Search

[edit] Gentoo-portage

[edit] Introduction

To install it you can go here and download both files into the "searchplugin" folder in your firefox installation folder: http://svn.gentoo-portage.com:8080/gentoo-portage/trunk/other/firefoxsearchplugin/

After restarting Firefox you will get a nice option in your browser to search the wiki directly in the top right of your browser

[edit] Problems I

If the search bar does not show up instantly after clicking the link you may fix it by doing this:

su -c "chgrp wheel /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchplugins/ && chmod g+ws /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchplugins/"

All users in the group "wheel" now have enough permissions to add searchplugins

As of Firefox 1.0.6 it is under /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox, so you have to type:

su -c "chgrp wheel /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchplugins/ && chmod g+ws /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchplugins/"

[edit] Problems II

If you're using the firefox-bin package you'll have to set the following directory:

su -c "chgrp wheel /opt/firefox/searchplugins && chmod g+ws /opt/firefox/searchplugins"

[edit] Keymark

In the bookmarks menu go to manage bookmarks and add a new bookmark. The name isn't important, but the Location should be

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Special:Search?go=Go&search=%s

and the put whatever keyword you want to use (lets say 'gw'). Then place the bookmark somewhere (it's not important where. Now you should be able to type in you location bar

gw <some search term>

and search the wiki

[edit] Opera

[edit] Drop Down Search Menu

[edit] Side Search Panel

Side Search Panel and Drop Down Search Menu side by side

To add buttons on your Side Panel in the Opera you've got to edit ~/.opera/toolbar/standard_toolbar (1).ini

File: ~/.opera/toolbar/standard_toolbar (1).ini

...

[Search Panel Toolbar.content]
Search0
;Button1, "Find in page search"=Search, 1
;Spacer2
Button3, "Google search"=Search, 1
Button4, "Linux Google search"=Search, 2
Button5, "Groups Google search"=Search, 3

Button10, "Gentoo-Portage search"=Search, 7
Button11, "Gentoo-Wiki search"=Search, 8
Button12, "Freshmeat search"=Search, 9

...
