Direct Aminet search from most browsers
« on: January 20, 2013, 03:21:35 AM »
Didn't think to check if this existed until just recently, so posting to spread the knowledge around:

Here you can find Mycroft search plugins to perform a basic search of Aminet directly from your browser's search bar. I believe IBrowse and MorphOS OWB are compatible (although they ship with Aminet search by default, so this isn't really necessary for them), as are all the usual browsers for PC/Mac/Linux.

Not certain if this is the same one I've been using in Firefox for about forever, but a search plug-in is extremely useful.  Never tried using if in IBrowse, so if anyone has I'd appreciate a review on whether or not it works.


I remember many years ago someone had put together an Aminet search plugin for Firefox, but it required a bit of effort to install and configure. This one is literally one or two clicks.

IBrowse comes with an Aminet search option out of the box. Works great!
