Leo Search - A Mozilla plug-in for searching the Leo.org database.
Description
I
am using leo.org very much every day and it is too much work to use the
search extension that already exists for the Firefox web browser.
I decided to write my own - context menu based - plug-in for
searching the Leo database and
that simply opens the result in a new tab. Maybe i will add some more features
but at the moment i want to keep it as simple as possible. KISS! Download it from addons.mozilla.org.
Future enhancements will be:
- German language support.
- Frame compatibility.
- Don't show the context-menu entry when nothing is selected.
- Show the search-key in the context menu e.g.: Search Leo.org for "search-key"

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

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?

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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