Add the new Google Caffeine search engine to your Firefox search bar
Update 11/11 Sandbox closed
It was fun while it lasted but Google has officially closed the Caffeine search sandbox. I will leave the code below for reference but be advised the search plugin will not work.
Google announced a new search engine preview today called "Caffeine" that can be found at http://www2.sandbox.google.com, and while it looks the same on the surface the results are certainly different. To simplify using this new engine I whipped up a plugin to add the new engine to the Firefox search bar.
Google Caffeine dev search engine installer (closed)
Update 8/15
I've been using this new dev search engine for a few days now and noticed that Google occasionally takes the site down for maintenance. If you see "Site under maintenance. Try your search in a few hours." then it's not this plugin but Google doing some tweaking. Remember, this is a developer's preview search engine.
