up on the menubar at the top where you can search google directly, click on the 'google' icon and a drop down comes up with the available searches.

Works a treat!!

That's great Lt Sniper, I love it. You should publish it on mozdev.

God Bless America! <-- sarcasm fully intended!

Actually, a better alternative is this site. I use this now instead of gc.com's Advanced Search. With this search you don't even have to choose what to search onÃ‚â€”it figures it out for automatically.

Ummm,...hate to tell you this, but your link to 'this site', as you know, is http://boulter.com/gqs/). He is a Yank! (God Bless America! <-- sarcasm fully intended!) Even worse, he's from California!

No worries, just saw the discrepancy and wondered why. 'Nuff said.

California yank here. (Though I'm actually from New England, which probably makes me even more of a yank. But anyway...)

I changed my code to support 4-digit postal codes and GAXXXX caches for both logging and viewing.

If someone can tell me what prefix Swaggies use I can support them too.

I don't see why this plugin needs to be AU-specific at all. Us Yanks like Firefox too.

Thanks very much Jeff!

Sure enough, GA#### and post codes work perfect!

EDIT: The post code will report the nearest caches that you havenÃ‚â€™t found

what have I done wrong, The other day, I installed it on my windoze laptop fine, back when the page was bland, today, I am trying to install on 1.0 running on SuSe 9.2, from the updated site (nice new page layout Alex!!). After the install, I click on the google pulldown, and it aint there!!!

I want it back!!!!

Damn, I hope it isnt the install script, it was a b#!%^ to setup because it kept giving me PHP render errors.

For some reason the install script wont work in Linux. I just rebooted to my Fedora partition and it wont install. I will have to work on that

It will not install on an account under linux that doesnt have high permissions or root access.

The same goes for all the search plugins here:
