search plugins for Mozilla FireFox:

http://www.subsys.de/misc/FireFoxSearchPlg01.zip

To install, shutdown FireFox, copy the files to 
..\FireFox\searchplugins\* and relaunch FireFox. Now you are able to 
select the plugins form the search entry field right top.

There are the following plugins:

- Hobbes OS/2 Archive
- commTalk library
(this is a very large OS/2 software archiv from the german online forum 
www.commTalk.de - most files contains english descriptions, but it 
requires registration)

and the following plugins, which are currently only working for people 
with access to google.DE:

- Google: search the web for german sites in german language
- Google: search images
- Google: search newsgroups
- Google: search news

I would like to add plugins for the last 3 options to use with 
google.com, but because an access from germany to google.com will always 
be redirected to google.de, I will
need YOUR help!

If anybody has time and delight, please send me the corresponding google 
commands:

Go to google.com, select 'search for images', enter the string 'test' 
into the search entry field and hit enter. Then copy the string form the 
URL field and send it to me
(FrankWochatz at despammed.com). In google.de it looks like this:

http://images.google.de/images?q=Test&ie=UTF-8&hl=de&btnG=Google-Suche

Do the same for Newsgroups and News. TIA!

kind regards
Frank Wochatz
