User commentary
Please sign all comments.

This is a basic search bookmarklet derived from http://www.bookmarklets.com/mk.phtml which allows users to construct their own javascript bookmarklets as long as the search term appears in the url somewhere. James 05:13, 4 July 2008 (EDT)

The original version works up to Firefox 8.0, which apparently introduced some subtle changes in its Javascript engine. Fortunately, Martin Holmes has found out a fix and kindly posted it on the TEI-L mailing list. Rvdb
