Wikipedia-specific searching with Firefox

In Firefox, the search box has a little pull down menu to allow you to choose which search engine it uses. Several popular search engines come included, but not Wikipedia. However, Firefox provides a page on their website listing more search engines you can add to that menu, including Wikipedia's search. To add Wikipedia, simply go here and click on Wikipedia in the list provided, and you are done. To activate it, pull-down the menu at the search box and click on Wikipedia there. Now you have a second Wikipedia search box. Unlike the search box in Wikipedia's sidebar, which disappears off the screen when you scroll down to read a long page, the Firefox search box always remains on the screen, ready to assist. (Keep in mind, typing Alt+F also places the cursor in the Wikipedia search box.)

The Bond franchise[edit]

Hi Mikegodat- I notice that you have changed the opening sentence on multiple James Bond franchise films to 'British-American'. While it is broadly accepted that they are British films, that is not really the point. Believe it or not, there is often debate around this exact issue. I am sure you're acting in good faith so thought I'd let you know how to go about making these changes if that is what you would like to do. Normal procedure is to start a discussion on the article's talk page and make your case for changing it to what you think it should be. Changing the description of arguably the most famous of all British film franchises to describe them as something fundamentally different without recourse to discussion is not the way things are supposed to work. When changing the status quo, revert to the talk page and seek consensus from other editors for your point of view. Please don't revert back but do of course feel free to start new sections in the talk pages. Hope that's all OK and thanks! NEDOCHAN (talk) 09:12, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
