hi!
I was trying to search music on grooveshark today, when I thought of creating a search-plugin for the search purpose! So I found out a way to create an xml plugin, and then edited it to preference...
After successfully creating the plugin, I went ahead, and created one for teoti too!!!
here are the links to both... along with the code... and the source links from where I managed to create and edit the xml...
Grooveshark:

Teoti:

website where I found about xml creating website:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/make-your-firefox-browser-search-friendly/
the xml creating website:
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/submitos.html
and this link where I managed to edit the icon for the plugin (the xml website doesn't load the icon.
http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp
and here's the code for teoti search plugin, in case the xml gets renamed or moved from my dropbox folder...
