I got tired of clicking three times every time I wanted to search our university library so I wrote a couple of open search plugins so that I could do the searches in the search bar in Firefox: one is for Google scholar with advanced search for humanities/social sciences; one is for the Swedish national library system LIBRIS; one is for finding personnel at my university; and the rest are for searching our university library catalog.

You need Firefox 2.0 to be able to use the search plugins. You can download Firefox 2.0 here. (It might work with Internet Explorer 7, but I haven’t tried it.)
