I have searched Mycroft (and every other place I could find including opensearchplugins) but I can't find a plugin for Google site search anymore. I also have not found any announcements about it either.

What gives?

FYI: Using "site:{input url here}" on both the https and http google sites works fine. Pasting the current website's url in is an annoying extra step though. I have lost the plugin I once had.

There used to be an addon to make your own plugins (thought it was Add To Search Bar) but none I find now allow me to edit my plugins.

I don't want to use Google custom search because I don't like being logged into Google when I browse and search.

Anyone know a place to download the plugin? Or can you post the code so I can save the xml file in my searchplugins folder?

Also, I know this is not the mycroft site but I get a "forbidden" error when I try to go their forum.

Thanks in advance.

I don't recall that plugin. What did it do exactly? You probably could emulate it with a bookmarklet if it doesn't turn up anywhere. For example, this bookmarklet opens a new tab/window with a site search of the current page's hostname (it's all one line, please ignore the fact that the forum hyperlinks it): 

javascript:var%20u='https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A'+window.location.hostname;%20window.open(u,'_blank');%20void%200;

This variation displays an input box to request any keywords you might want to run against the site. Simply enter to get all results, or type 0 and Enter to cancel your search. 

javascript:var%20kw=""+prompt('Enter%20keywords%20or%200%20to%20cancel');if(kw!='0'){var%20u='https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A'+window.location.hostname;if(kw.length>0)u+='+'+encodeURIComponent(kw);%20window.open(u,'_blank');}%20void%200;

I think I might get some use out of this. :-)

To save a bookmarklet to your Bookmarks Toolbar: copy the script to the clipboard, right-click the Bookmarks Toolbar and choose New Bookmark, paste the script as the location, create the name of your choice, and click Add.

Removed link to Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin since it was not related to the question asked in this thread & seemed suspicious
