BBC related search plugins and custom Google Toolbar buttons

I have made a whole series of BBC related browser plugins. There are search plugins in the OpenSearch format which means they can be added to Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2. They cover a range of BBC content, including search, BBC News, BBC blogs, the iPlayer and Doctor Whoogle.

These plugins are also available as custom buttons for the Google Toolbar. These add the search functionality to your Google toolbar, and also in most cases add a drop-down menu to the toolbar featuring the latest headlines from a relevant BBC RSS feed.

UK newspaper related search plugins and custom Google Toolbar buttons

I have also made available a series of UK newspaper related browser plugins. There are search plugins in the OpenSearch format which means they can be added to Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2. They cover the majority of the UK's national newspapers, and also include some specialist searches of blogs, jobs listings and user-generated content where newspapers have made this available.

The majority of these plugins are also available as custom newspaper buttons for the Google Toolbar. These add the functionality to search a newspaper directly from your Google toolbar, and also in most cases add a drop-down menu to the toolbar featuring the latest headlines from the newspaper's RSS feed.
