Since the launch of the new Search Icon Feature yesterday, I began to notice a few lag issue with some site’s installation page. After a few hours of investigation, I found that the icon auto-discovery feature was slowing the installation in some cases (but not all)
As a response I just installed a new caching feature in the installation xml pages that greatly improves the installation speeds.
Earlier today we deployed a new feature on addoursearch.com that automatically searches for and installs your site’s favicon into FireFox search plugin menus. (see example image at the bottom of this post)
This feature will automatically search the root directory of your site for either favicon.ico or favicon.png and if found, will add that icon to your visitors browser search plugin menu.
Our installation page has already been upgraded with this feature, so existing users of our Browser Search Plugin Widgets will not need to re-create their widget.
To ensure that new and existing widget users can take advantage of this service, please adhere to the following requirements:
Search Icon Auto-Discovery Requirements:
We will be adding support for custom icon locations and names in the near future.
*NOTE: Internet Explorer DOES NOT support icons in their browser search menu. So this feature will only work in FireFox and Flock Browsers.
I’m proud to announce that at approximately 9pm C.S.T., our delivery servers recorded the 1 Millionth badge served in a little over 2 months since our launch on June 5th.
Our “on-track” plan had us serving 1 million badges by the 2 month mark, so we’re slightly behind that goal, but we’re still happy with the results.
