Firefox search-engine plugin for Foresight packges

I always search on rpath website to see if some application is already packaged in our repository. So here is a simple plugin to accelerate this, which adds a 'Foresight Packages' search engine in Firefox's search bar.

It does exactly the same thing as this:

type in the address bar "http://www.rpath.org/search?type=Packages&search=package-name", then press enter.

Or, go to http://www.rpath.org/ and then do the search.

You write a plug in for Fx? Great! How did you achieve it? Maybe you could do a little demo in this Friday. ;D

Basically I copied the 'Debian Package Search' :) But it's very simple in fact.

Sure, let's do it on Friday.
