Leo Search - A Firefox plugin for searching the Leo.org database.

Description

Screenshot: Leo Search Plugin Searches for marked words in the database at dict.leo.org and opens the result in a new tab. The fastest way to search at leo.org. It supports English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Italian and Russian to German translation.

Since I am using leo.org very much every day and I really needed a very simple way to search the database at leo.org, I decided to write my own - context menu based - addon for firefox. It simply searches for selected words and opens the result in a new background tab.

Download it from addons.mozilla.org or below.

Version 0.4.0 is compatible with Firefox 1.0 - 3.6.*; Version 1.0.0 is compatible with Firefox 3.5 - 3.6.*. Maybe it is running on lower versions of Firefox but it isn't tested.

Herzlichen Dank für dieses tolle Plugin, ich habe schon lange nach dieser Möglichkeit gesucht.

Ich hätte eine weitere Idee für die Anwendung des Konzepts dieses Plugins, die Technik dafür müsste die gleiche sein:
In der Konfiguration eine oder mehrere Heimatadressen eintragen, im Browser einen Stadtnamen markieren -> im Kontextmenu \"Route ab..\" wählen und automatisch ein neues Tab mit Wegbeschreibung von google-maps erhalten

Ist der Source-Code von deinem Plugin verfügbar? Dürfte ich dafür Deinen Code verwenden und anpassen?
Schöne Grüße

This is a very useful add-on, thank-you!
What i\\\'m also looking for is a way to have LEO in my list of search engines on Firefox, so I can look up any word through search bar without first having to go to Leo site... do you know how to do that?

2010.04.18 - 19:56:53 - hanez

version 1.0 available! it now support all languages at leo.org... have fun!

2010.04.04 - 12:57:19 - mike

Very helpful add-on for me, I won\'t miss it!!!
Would it be possible, adding the possibility presenting the search result always in the same Leo-Search-tab (without opening a new tab, for each new search), independently from other Firefox configurations. It would be great!
Thank\'s in advance

0.4.0 is compatible with firefox 3.6... ;)


2010.01.22 - 15:34:38 - IQIGravity

Hi,

leo-search 0.2.4 and 0.3.0 do not work with Firefox 3.6 :-(

Do you plan to make it compatible?

Hello! I really love your LEO add-on. I\'m using it to read the New York Times with my tablet PC.
Unfortunately I have a problem with some pages. The \"Search on LEO\" entry is sometimes missing in the context menu.

E.g. everything works fine with this page: http://www.nytimes.com/ ==> You can mark a word => right click => you get the translation from LEO.

If I try this page: http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/11/29/travel/29choice.html?em ==> The search menu entry in the context menu is missing.

I\'m using FireFox 3.5.5

Can you please help?

A cool extension of your add-on would be the possibility to store the words in a database. I know this possibility exists on LEO, but the access options to this leo database are very limited.

Thanks again for your great add-on.

2009.09.09 - 13:51:22 - hanez

I updated the addon on the Mozilla download site! Sorry for waiting so long...

2009.09.06 - 10:19:05 - milikala

it works under firefox 3.5.2 after changing the max.version like 3.6 and the end of install.rdf

please update

thx

... sorry didn\'t see the comment from \"2009.01.22 - 08:55:37 - Bine\".
This workaround works with 3.5.1.

2009.07.22 - 17:12:05 - Michael Faessler

hello your tool seams really to be use-full, as I often use the dict.leo.org too. Do you plan to implement it for the latest version of firefox (3.5.1) ?
Thanks a lot, Michael ;)

2009.07.14 - 15:15:41 - Stefan2

I\'d also be intrested in a version for Firefox 3.5. Are you planing to release a version for FF3.5?
If not... Is there a way to force the actual version in FF3.5?
Cheers!

2009.05.24 - 22:41:02 - dennis

will there be an extension for 3.5versions?

2009.03.02 - 11:08:12 - Stefan

Sure, it works. I put 3.1 instead of 3.0.6 and it worked for me (although my version is 3.0.6)! So keep trying ;)

2009.02.15 - 19:26:51 - dieter

Sorry, but it doesn\\\'t work with a change to 3.0b6 or 3.0.6

2009.01.22 - 08:55:37 - Bine

1. download the xpi file
2. rename the file into zip
3. unpack and open the file install.rdf with the editor
4. put your Firefox Version number in this file em:maxVersion>3.0b3

2009.01.22 - 08:53:51 - Bine

1. download the xpi file
2. rename the file into zip
3. unpack and open the file install.rdf with the editor
4. put your Firefox Version number in this file em:maxVersion>3.0b3

2009.01.22 - 08:51:13 - Bine

1. download the xpi file
2. rename the file into zip
3. unpack and open the file install.rdf with the editor
4. put your Firefox Version number in this file 3.0b3
5. save it, zip all again, rename it into xpi and install it
works great !

Is there any chance that this could be fixed to work with versions of firefox >=3.1 && < 3.2 ? I\\\'m doubtful that the search API has changed very much between 3.0 and 3.1.

I am still waiting for an update to Firefox 3.0. Are you going to write one. I sorely miss it.

Nettes Plugin, läuft mit dem Versions-Patch auch problemlos auf FF 3.0.1

Ein nützliches Feature wäre noch, wenn nicht für jede Suche ein neuer Tab geöffnet, sondern ein bereits offener Leo-Tab wiederverwendet wird (der Window-Titel von LEO-Seiten beginnt stets mit \"LEO\").

LG, Sven

Man kann es umgehen, wenn es nich installieren will indem man:

-die datei runterläd
-umbenennt int leo_seach.zip
-in der datei, die drin ist (nicht in chrome) etwas sucht, und seine eigene FF version reinschreibt
-das ganze zurück ins zip packt
-es wieder in xpi umbenennt und in den Firefox schiebt

leo_search-0.2.3-fx.xpi lässt sich auf Thunderbird
Version 2.0.0.17 (20080914)nicht installieren ...mein Fehler?

Hallo H. Findeisen,
da mein Englischvokabular sehr begrenzt ist habe ich Ihr Plugin leo zusammen mit Firefox 2.x verwendet. Jetzt musste ich feststellen, daß dieses Plugin nicht auf Firefox 3.x läuft.

Können sie das Plugin auch für Firefox 3.0 portieren.
Oder könnten Sie den Quelltext veröffentlichen damit ein andere dies tun kann.

Für ihre Bemühungen möchte ich mich im Voraus herzlich bedanken und verbleibe mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hi Johannes,

vielen Dank und Kompliment für Deine Mühe und die Idee. Hoffe Du lässt es wieder beleben mit einem Update für FF 3.0.1, wenn Du dazu Gelegenheit hast, oder vielleicht finden sich coder die unterstützen können?

2008.08.18 - 14:34:53 - justin

You just alter the compatibility with Mr. Techs Toolkit. USe google for that.

2008.08.16 - 11:02:42 - Hansi

Super Addon, aber leider nicht für FF 3.0.1...
Bitte updaten...

LG aus Ösiland!

2008.07.17 - 01:32:04 - Johannes K

Yes, great(est) addon!

An update would be very nice and appreciated!

Thanks man!

2008.06.30 - 12:32:23 - hanez

An update for Firefox 3.0 will follow within this week! Have a nice day!

2008.06.30 - 12:23:33 - Michael

Hi!
I\'m usign Firefox 3.0 German (Windows XP German), but Firefox doesn\'t accept this Plugin (0.2.3) as \"incompatible\"!?

2008.06.26 - 20:32:09 - ffuser

Great Plugin! Would be very nice to see an update for Firefox 3.0

2008.06.26 - 11:51:09 - Julian

Will there be an update for Firefox 3? Would be very useful!

2008.05.27 - 03:05:01 - beowuff

open install.rdf and change the maxVersion to 4.0

most plugins ah extensions works fine when you change the installers version number.

it seems like a trick, its all a trick the lighting and hiding (mr satan)

dont forget to restart the fox.

2008.02.19 - 17:00:56 - Alexander Massmann

Wird es die LEO-Search-Extension auch für Firefox 2.0.0.12 geben? Wäre sehr hilfreich!

2008.01.17 - 12:14:31 - hanez

hello, all! sorry for not updating Leo-Search for such a long time. I was very busy in the last months so i had nearly no time for \"spare-time-hacking\". I f you feel to be a good maintainer for Leo-Search, please let me know! It would be great if someone of the community could take care of this extension in the future... An update will follow in the next weeks! Have a nice day... ;)

I used LEO search very often until I updated firefox to 2.0.0.1
Now I\'m waiting for a compatible release...
Leo search 2.2.0 doesn\'t work with 2.0.0.1.
When will it come ?

2007.01.21 - 14:30:42 - Miho

hey! grrrrreat add-on!
unfortunatley it doesn\'t work together with my firefox 2.0.0.1 :(
i would love to see a fix
thanks in advance

2007.01.16 - 10:20:49 - Aquarius

Some of you talk about changing the maxVersion to 2.*! How can this be done. Would be great if someone had a receipe for this or even a hint, which file to edit! Thanks in advance!

2007.01.15 - 12:06:51 - Steph

PLEASE update this extension to work with the latest version of Firefox. I am studying Advanced German Grammar and Literature in college and I really need this extension. Thanks!

2007.01.12 - 17:56:06 - luki

the procedure for 2.x is the same as described in the Beni Mussler page above. just this time replace 2.0 with 2.*
A bit annoying, but worth the effort!

2006.12.30 - 19:25:20 - andy

very great tool, but does not work anymore with the latest firefox version, unfortunately...

2006.12.24 - 12:32:21 - Mc

maxVersion should be set to 2.0.0.*

2006.12.23 - 10:55:39 - Joachim

Great tool, but not longer running with Firefox 2.0.0.1.

2006.10.25 - 00:45:48 - Rich

Good news! I just edited the install file to allow it to work with 2.0 and it\'s been working great the last few days w/o a hitch....

2006.10.24 - 01:34:41 - Anonymous

this has been fantastic for me! I can\'t thank you enough...now just to make a version for 2.0 and you really will be my hero =)

2006.10.08 - 21:41:08 - Jan-Bart

best plugin ever made for firefox :)

helped me a lot with lerning and understanding enlish texts.

a version of this plugin compatible to Firefox2.0 would be cool.

2006.09.23 - 11:33:29 - Charly

Would it be difficult to write a spanish version? In the Leo page you can translate into spanish, so I think it should be easy.
Anyway, its a really impressive tool. Thanks a lot

2006.09.12 - 21:48:26 - Tidirium

Thanks for the nice LEO tool.
It\'s great!

regards
