My computer is trying to tell me something

Its just a bug in FireFox really but I thought the fact that every item in my search engine list had the tooltip "Search PHP documentation" was really funny. Perhaps my computer is trying to tell me that I'm writing/searching too much PHP related stuff these days.

Come to think of it about 90% of my searches probably have something directly or indirectly to do with PHP. That thesaurus at the bottom is used almost solely for good identifier names.

Thinking about it. Would be cool if we had an extension to search devnetwork too. (in that dropdown)

Before that we would need to make sure our search actually works the way we want it to. :) Although it does handle its purpose well, it could be improved.

@Everah: I think there needs to be some kind of `archive` section where the mods put the good threads with all the crap removed and the subjects made more descriptive. The have a search for that. Maybe this could be a custom application with tagging.

Adding it to the search box in Firefox isn't a problem, but it'd be useless in my opinion (see Everah's post).

searching for anything with single quotes in seems to provide problems for phpbb search (see my 'suggestions' thread regarding search string: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])
