I have followed Dave's instructions and added the database (using the link here: http://davesgarden.com/pdb/search.php?search_text=&submit=Search) as a search engine in Firefox, versions 0.8.x and 0.9.2 with no problem. Today I installed version .9.3 on a new computer and tried adding it , but nothing seems to happen. Is it the new version of Firefox, or the new Dave's Garden - or the old me?

And on this topic - how come on the "add search engines" page in Firefox, there are several listings for Gardenweb, but Dave's Garden isn't there? That would be the easiest way to add it. I see you can "write it yourself and submit it" but the instructions lost me.

I think I have fixed the search engine - please try adding it again.

Also, regarding the "Add engines", DG isn't listed because I never submitted it to them. I'll see about doing that.

Thanks much, dave! It's always a relief to find out I'm not totally losing it. I've added it now.

I didn't know there was 9.3 out now - have to check it out.

Dave - can we get the same Firefox search added for the Garden Watchdog or is that not possible? I've had the GBW and PDB from the moment I installed Firefox a few months ago.

Firefox searches already exist for all the tabs, including the watchdog. Do your search and visit the bottom of the page.

Dave, is it time to add your search engines to Mozilla to capture the eyes of all those non-DG gardeners with free time during the holidays? :)
