By popular demand ... the Sphere Firefox Search Plugin

I personally don’t really like the site. The design seems relatively indifferent, as does the function. I’d have expected a much more innovative approach from the people behind it, a disappointing result for me.

Hmmm. I played with it a bit – you kind of have to want to search. I do like that it isn’t cluttered.

porn, marijauna growing and Web 2.0 were some of the top searches for the hour and the week. chris pratley was a top search but didn’t return any results.

I had to read the instructions more than once.

It burped on a site: search and gave a completely unrelated site.
No harm in bookmarking it and watching to see if it grows.

Hi – thanks for checking out our site and posting about it.

Matt Mullenweg (full disclosure, i’m on the board of Automattic/ WordPress and Matt is one of sphere’s advisors) has been on me to prioritize firefox toolbar development. We’ve seen a number of these comments the past few days – it shouldn’t come as a surprise, Matt has great instincts. Safe to say, it’s become a priority. Stay tuned.

Lovely site (congrats Adaptive Path), but YES I want to use it from the drop down.
