So i was pretty tired of the google search on ns so i made a fix that gets it back to the old one, check it out
Click for larger image
All you need is firefox and a plugin called Greasemonkey

1. install greasemonkey https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
2. add the script i made http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/40544

The google search will now be replaced with the old one

tell me what you think

Show some respect guys. This dude is trying to make your life easier and you call his idea pointless?

That being said, someone already did this I believe. SEARCHBAR! Haha, I'm just kidding. I'll hook you some Karma for the good intentions though.

I disagree. Having to click to a new page to search every time is pretty frustrating.

I use the searchbar plugin for firefox though. If I didn't have that I would get this one for sure. Good work man

it takes my browser 0.21 seconds to load the advanced searchbar page.
i'm going to take back my previous comment and thank you for trying to make our lives "easier."

i actually don't like the new searchbar either. can't quite explain it, but it just bothers me. i realize it may not take a significant effort use the new page, i just like the old way better.

why does everyone have to be such a dickhead about it, he did something to help, when someone made a ns forum search for an addon for firefox searchbar people didnt trip about that, this is just as good. good work man. thanks

Are you fucking kidding me?  You're hating because this kid tried to make advanced searching easier?  There is not a single hateful post in my NS Searchar Plugin thread (yeah, I beat you to this, sort of) what makes this so different?
