Search Mixx from your browser’s Search Bar

Posted by Jason on December 7th, 2007

Did you know you could search Mixx from your browser’s Search Bar? (If you’re using Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox, that is.) Odds are you didn’t, because we’ve been very lazy about pointing this feature out!

While you’re browsing Mixx, look up to your browser’s Search Bar (usually in the top right) and you’ll notice it’s highlighted. Give the down arrow a click and you’ll be presented with your list of installed Search Providers. Depending on your browser, you’ll either see “Add Mixx” or the “Add Search Providers” option. Either way, click through and you’ll have a Mixx search added to your Search Bar! Easy as that.

I posted a couple of screenshots (here and here) over on Flickr to walk you through the process in Internet Explorer 7:

Special thanks to Brian for his post over on the MixxingBowl blog that got me organized to write this up.
