Search In Sidebar Ver2.1 Released
New Features in Ver 2.1
・Features
・Icon
The icon of this addon has been added to the tool bar. The sidebar is displayed / reloaded quickly by pressing it. You can remove this icon if you don't need it.
・Options
You can decide behavior of the icon in the toolbar by choosing options. The default is 'Reload', this reloads the page in the sidebar. Another option is 'Go back to Home', this replaces the page of the sidebar with the home of search engines. If you have chosen 'ask' option, 'Reload' option is used instead of 'Go back to Home' option.
・Others
・For Developers
Remove checking the current url of the sidebar from sidebar.js because it is redundant. I did not know this script is not called when other url is set to the sidebar.

"Search in Sidebar" and "Open in Sidebar" Released
I released two firefox extensions which are "Search in Sidebar" and "Open in Sidebar".
As the name says, these extensions use the sidebar.
The built-in searching feature can search text in an only new tab.
Due to the reason, we need to leave the current tab and move to the another tab to search text.
You can check and keep watching the searching result without moving from the current page.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/search-in-sidebar/



You can choose http or https when you open the link.
Choosing https, you can open a link which is http as https.
However, for safety reasons, you cannot open a link which is https as http and https will be chosen automatically.
You can check a link quickly to open it in the sidebar without leaving current page.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/open_in_Sidebar/





These extensions do not require any permissions like popup extensions.
I hope you will enjoy without being limited by anything.
