Dear Reader,

Over the autumn/winter of 2006/2007 we’re bringing a host of upgrades to allow for easier, more innovative use of fadtastic. New comment features. More of a community feel. Plenty of treats are on the way. Many are usability tweaks. Some are new sections of fadtastic. We’ll be feeding all the updates right to you here in the news section.

First up, a simple but useful update. We now have a fadtastic plugin for searching within your browser. If your browser is OpenSearch compatible (Firefox and IE7 certainly are) then hit the dropdown in your browser search bar. From there, fadtastic will be added to your available search engines.

Any issues, questions or comments? Let us know:

I had no idea that OpenSearch had auto-detection using the element. That’s something I’ll definitely need to dig deeper into…

Jordan,

Simply add the auto discovery feature just like an RSS feed (feel free to take a look at our xml file) to get things going.
