Add EDN Search into IE7 and FireFox 2…

I was catching up on my blog reading over lunch and happened onto Jason Birch’s blog, where I found a posting about how to add EDN search directly into your browser (IE7 or FireFox 2.x).

For some reason his blog is not aggregated on PlanetGeospatial [UPDATE: It is listed under the blog name "Random Nodes" and not his name - thanks James!], and was
not in by blog list, so I had not seen this. And since there were not
comments on the post, I’m guessing that others have also not seen this. Check out the post and leave a comment for Jason here. Add EDN Search to your browser here. This is great. Thanks Jason!

Upon further reading, it looks like Rob @ the Spatial Miscellany blog posted the seed of this. Jason wove in the OpenSearch stuff so you don’t have to dirty your clip board with a URL – it just pulls it from the page. All very cool.

Jason’s blog has been in Planet GS for a long time Dave (hint it is listed as his blog name).

True, but I think that post may have been lost in the chaff as my blog was re-added after a temporary vacation :)

Thanks Dave (and James)

James – my bad – I was looking for his name, not the blog name!

Cheers,
