I find myself wanting to do quick searches of people I run into in the game on the Armory system. I’m pretty lazy, so instead of doctoring a URL or doing a manual search I made up my own little armory search engine thingy for the Firefox search bar.

Truthiness Exodar Armory Search

For some reason, when I was testing, the search engine installed just fine the first time, but after that, I keep getting an error saying Firefox can’t find the file at the location or some such nonsense. the file is there and I was only able to find on the Internet that it has something to do with Firefox caching something. Hopefully it’s not just a tease. If no one else can get it to work, I’ll investigate.

Also, I’ve been using Google’s Chrome browser a lot lately and here’s how you add the armory search to the Chrome bar:

1. Right-click the chrome url bar.
2. Select ‘Edit search engines…”
3. Press ‘Add’
4. Name: ‘Armory: Exodar’
5. Keyword: ‘wow’
6. Url: ‘http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Exodar&n=%s’
7. Click ok.
8. In the Chrome bar, type something like: ‘wow lolotov’, you should be taken to my armory page.

Not a big deal, but now armory’ing peeps when looking for PUGs will be that much quicker.
