Search tipstrs from your browser

tipstrs has been updated with a widget that allows you to search the entire tipstrs site using the search bar in your browser.

If you are using Firefox 2 or higher, or IE7 or higher, the arrow in the search widget of your browser should be highlighted when you are visiting tipstrs. Click on it and you'll see an options to add tiptrs to your list of search engines. Once it's added, you'll be able to search tipstrs from anywhere.

It was actually surprisingly easy to add this functionality. All it takes is one small XML file and an additional line in the title of your pages. The folks at Mozilla do a great job of walking you through the process.
