bz Quick Search

With the new developer services components, I find myself once again updating my Bugzilla Quick Search search plugin. This time, I’ll document it. :)

Here are the steps:

  1. Determine the quick search parameters you want. Experimenting on the Bugzilla Quick Search page is useful.
  2. If this is your first time, install a search engine that you can copy and modify. The bugzilla one is an obvious good choice.
  3. Find the xml file for the search engine in the “searchplugins” directory of your profile. Modify the “template” attribute in the “os:Url” element based on your research in (1). I tend to put all my customization after the special token “{searchTerms}”, as that makes it easier to refine the search on the bugzilla search results page.
  4. Add a keyword to this search, for ease of use in the awesome bar.
  5. Enjoy!

[edit: here’s my current file as a sample]
