Sometimes I forget that the Compose editor of Blogger is really cool for simpy copy&paste stuff from webpages. I have often used it to have a peek into the source code of all kinds of embedded multimedia in websites. But now I want to share some new OpenSearch plugins I created via the MyCroft Project. You can see the (still small) list of my plugins , but I also just paste the list here, and see how it looks! Mycroft uses a script to hide the direct access to the plugin. So you will have to fill in the number of the plugin (via Mouseover!) in the search option to see the actual script.

For licenced databases I am working on the url-string to include our digital library proxy access. Luckily I already have a huge list of library resource urls due to the Library Toolbars. Search plugins allows you to do a direct search from your internet browser search box, without having to go to the database or search enigine first. The MyCroft Project has been gathering all kinds of useful stuff at their site, including a search for OpenSearch Plugins. I could not resist in putting that into a handy widget via Widgetbox. You can also see it work on this Blog It is not approved by Widgetbox yet, but it can be used as from now. And it it amazing to see how many Search Plugins there are out there!
