Have you noticed that the Mozilla Firefox build of Ubuntu has an extra search plugin that lets you search for Ubuntu Package Repository? I have, and sometimes I miss the functionality much if for some reason I had to use other operating system to do my work.

I need the search plugin because sometime I want to quickly check the Ubuntu software repository for certain packages while surfing the internet.

So to make things easy for me, I extracted the search plugin directly from my Ubuntu Linux installation and made it available for download. Now everybody can use this plugin to search Ubuntu Edgy softwares even if they are not using Ubuntu.
