FireFox Extension (Click images to enlarge)
The Sixearch extension for FireFox allows access to Sixearch
without leaving the Web browser.
To search, users select
the Sixearch option at the top right search box
of the Firefox Web browser and type
in a query. The results coming from the local engine and other peers' will
then be shown on the browser along with the usual information like
in any traditional search engine (title, snippet, etc), as well as
information about the peers that provided results.
To export bookmarks to Sixearch, users simply
click "Bookmarks" in a drop-down menu then select
"Index All Bookmarks in 6S and Share". To index a single Web page, users can just
right click on the page and select the "Bookmark in 6S and Share" option in the pop up menu.
The Sixearch application must be running in order to use the
FireFox extension. If you use the FireFox browser extension
and get an error, it's probably because Sixearch is not running.
