User:Christo Muller/Citizendium and Google search for Firefox

The account of this former contributor was not re-activated after the server upgrade of March 2022.
This is essentially the Google&Wikipedia search engine for Firefox rewritten. It searches all of <$$$.citizendium.org> sites indexed by Google, where "$$$" can be "www." "forum." "blog." "pilot." "forge.", and in future maybe "de.", "fr.", "br.", ... I am not familiar with the goings on at http://mycroft.mozdev.org/ , nor do I intend to maintain or update the code, except if it stops working for me. So if someone is prepared to publish it there as an optional plug-in, then that would be a big plus.
The .xml file
This file I named "citizendium_google.xml", and placed it in my "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\DEFAULTFNAME.default\searchplugins\" folder (Firefox 2 on Windows XP).
NB#1: Remove all spaces (and newlines or carriage returns if they pop up, which they shouln't) from the long list of characters between "data:image/x-icon" and "</os:image>" – I do not know how long a line the wiki software allows, so I have split the very long single sequence of characters with paragraph marks and leading spaces. They do not belong there!
