Foxysearch.org Tools

The Foxysearch.org search facility is a custom made Google search that searches sites in the Mozilla ecosystem, such as official and semi-official sites about Firefox. As a consequence the results are very relevant to Mozilla and its flagship product Firefox. By adding a link or search box to your site or blog and by adding a search plugin to your browser you can make this search facility easily available to yourself and others.
