A FOLDOC Button for your browser

Following the instructions below will give you a button in your browser that will search FOLDOC for any word you have selected in the browser window, or, if nothing is selected, prompt you for a search string. If you don't enter anything and just click OK, the button will take you to the FOLDOC home page.

Netscape Navigator

In the View > Show menu, ensure that Personal Toolbar is ticked.

Drag this link to your Personal Toolbar:
FOLDOC

Internet Explorer

In the View > Toolbars menu, ensure that Links is ticked.

Drag this link onto your Links toolbar to create a FOLDOC button:
FOLDOC

Galeon

The Galeon web browser supports bookmarks that take arguments. You can create a smart bookmark for a site if you know what URL a site uses for search, replacing the search term with %s. To add a "smart bookmark" to FOLDOC, add a bookmark with "http://www.foldoc.org/" as URL and "http://www.foldoc.org/foldoc.cgi?%s" as smart URL.

(Thanks to Auke Jilderda for this info).

Thanks to Google for the idea (and for a great search engine).
