Much like my Opening Windows search engine for Firefox, this one allows students to research through Google without running into take-it-with-a-grain-of-salt Wikipedia entries.
- Paste the following code into Notepad:
<search
name=”Google -Wikipedia”
method=”GET”
action=”http://www.google.com/search”
queryCharset=”utf-8″
><input name=”q” user>
<input name=”-” value=”wikipedia”>
</search> - 2. Save the file as “google-wikipedia.src” in C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\searchplugins (and be sure to select All Files from the
drop-down, or else it will be saved as google-wikipedia.src.txt).
That’s it! Now, restart Firefox and start searching Wikipedia-free from your Firefox search bar.
NOTE: There have been some issues with the code. If Firefox rejects it, try replacing all of the backwards quotes with normal quotes. That should fix any issues.
