I ♥ Twitterfox. But one of the big issues that I’ve had with the Twitterfox addon for Firefox is the lack a search function, preventing me from looking up any #-tags that I might be interested in.

I didn’t want to resort to a 3rd party client separate from my browser because I’m quite stingy when it comes down to sharing system resources.

Step 1.

Get the Add To Search Bar addon.

This is a ~wonderful~ addon that lets me put obscure site search bars (like Psydb.net) into my Firefox search bar.

Step 2.

After you’ve installed the addon, log into Twitter, and right-click on the search field on your page.

Step 3.

Add Twitter to your search bar.

Profit.
