Greetings fellow Citizens of EvBoard!
I stumbled upon something cool for the Firefox users here.
(Non-Firefoxers can just, um, continue playing with their Etch-a-Sketches or something.)
Anyways, you know the little built-in searchbox in the upper right corner of Firefox?

Well, you probably already know that you can add other engines to that box.
BUT, did you know that it's actually extremely easy to make your own additions to it? And, to that end, I slapped together an addition that's linked directly to EvBoard's own search function!
The result? It's now even easier (and cooler) to search through EvBoard!

How complicated is it to install? Not very.
Step 1: Find the folder for installing it on YOUR COMPUTER. Simply navigate to this location:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins
Step 2: Download and open this zip file:

Step 3: Copy the contents of the zip file (2 files) to the folder you opened in Step 1. That means, copy "EvBoard.src" to your searchplugins folder and copy "EvBoard.gif" to your searchplugins folder.
Step 4: Close Firefox (if you already had it open) and then open Firefox like normal. EvBoard search will be added to your list of search engines.
It's JUST that easy! http://dhammaseeker.com/smileys/disco.gif
Now, if you, for some reason, can't open zip files, or if I haven't explained something right, feel free to drop me a pm!
