here comes coogle, a simple tiny extension for firefox. that’s how it works:
- go to google
- search for oslutions
- click on the first result
- the words “oslutions” are highlighted in yellow
- click reload to see the page normally

a nice way for me to get started into writing extension. already workin on the next one, a mail archiver for thunderbird…

install coogle

leo is my favourite online translator. the layout is cranky, but search results are very good. and what i also like about it, is that whenever i come back to the page, the form entry has always the focus, and i can start typing my next search straight away. so, no need to click first on the search field… no rocket science here, it is just a tiny javascript function that does the trick. then i was wondering why other popular search engines were not offering this? it doesn’t make sense. why do we have to always use our mouse to make a new search? or maybe it does make sense!? maybe we might click on some other link then. maybe even on an ad. am i seeing evil?
