We help members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon church) share their beliefs on the Internet. Learn more about what Mormons believe or talk with Mormons at LDS.net.
Aaron Curtis has created a Google Custom Search Engine for searching official LDS Church web sites. It includes lds.org, mormon.org, josephsmith.net, familysearch.org, providentliving.org, and international Church websites (like the site for the Mormon church in Australia, for example).
Also, the More Good Foundation operates a search engine called LDSsearch.com, which indexes pages that are faithful to the Church. It should be a “safe” place to search when looking for information about the Church.
It would be great to get Firefox search plugins for both of these search engines.

[...] Upon Richard’s request, I’ve made two more Firefox plugins (in addition to the Black Box one I created in August). [...]
Your wish is once again my command. I’ve created firefox plugins for both.

Awesome Connor! These are great.

LDSsearch.com now uses the OpenSearch format for plugins, which works with Firefox 2 and IE7 and supports auto-discovery.

Okay, maybe I’m just slow, but I just learned that when the cursor is in the search bar you can toggle ctrl/cmd up and down to alternate between the various search plugins you have installed. That’s going to save me many, many precious seconds of my life. Sweet.

Connor: Sweet tip! I didn’t know that either and it will be very helpful.
