You can download it at this address: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?author=Matt+Hampel
The AADL upgraded their catalog search recently, and one of the excellent new changes is clean URLs. For example, something like this:
http://aadl.org/catalog/search/keyword/Julia Child

is a valid address — even with the space!

But this also means that search plugins were borked; hence the change. Thanks to Katherine Lawrence for prompting me to fix this.

That mycroft page also has a super-easy form for creating new search plugins. You can load any plugin into the first field on that page to see what it looks like — the ID of mine is 33816.

They require Firefox 2.

  • AADL by keyword — probably the most useful of the four, and perhaps the only one you need, since it searches several fields
  • AADL by title
  • AADL by author
  • AADL by subject — this one is probably the least useful unless you are familiar with the AADL’s mutated Library of Congress taxonomy
