    I created this for myself a while ago but I thought I'd give it to everyone else too in case anyone wanted to use it.

    Basically it adds a search engine in Firefox that lets you search for CricSim players, up where it has Google, Wikipedia etc.

    <link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="Mycroft Project" href="http://mycroft.mozdev.org/opensearch.xml"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://mycroft.mozdev.org/default.js"></script><a href="http://mycroft.mozdev.org/jsreq.html" title="Ref: cricsim_player (36521)" onClick="addOpenSearch('cricsim_player','png','','36521','g');return false">CricSim Player Search</a>

    Haha it's a bit of a gimmick really; I don't use it very often. It's still cool though. :p

    Actually wouldn't have been working for the past 15 minutes or so FTR; I was making a change to the search page. All good now though.

    Haha, this is a whole new level of geek. Somehow it makes it geekier that you were keeping it for yourself. I might actually try it though.

    Yeah when I first posted it up it worked. I was tweaking the search page to make it automatically redirect to the player page when there was only one result though, so it should work better now. :p

    For example, if you just type in "Gemmell" and press enter, it'll go straight to Boobidy's page rather than listing the one result.
