BooksOnBoard Browser Search Plugin
I couldn't find a browser search plugin for BooksOnBoard, so I took a minute to make one. If you use Firefox (and it should presumably work in IE7+ as well) and you ever shop at BooksOnBoard, check it out:

What does this browser plug-in do that we cannot do by going to the site?

Just the fact that search results default to list view instead of that horrible cover view is enough to make this more than worthwhile. Thank you!

I do all of my searches from the browser's search field; Google, Wikipedia, Memory Alpha, Amazon... it's nice to always "throw" my cursor at the same area for whatever and wherever I'm searching. Clearly, it's not for everyone though.

Another reason I made the plugin! I do prefer list view.

Edit: I just made a "Cover View" version (available at the original link above) for those that prefer the default results display.
