Wikipedia Search Script

[Matt]

Hey all,

Here's a search plugin for firefox I wrote today, with a lot of help from VI. I personally like it better than the wikipedia search script that Mozilla currently offers because theirs goes to the search page with your term, while this one goes straight to the article, and only searches if it can't find what you typed. Anyway, enough tooting of my own horn, here's the .src file, I also uploaded it if you want to install it. (Thanks again goes to VI) Feel free to edit or redistribute by the way.
