[edit] Flickr Advanced
The flickr tags search is only able to do single tag searches, I would like a search plugin for Flickr that would search multiple tags. Either of the search boxes at http://www.flickr.com/photos/search/ would do. I have tried to adapt other search plugins such as flickr groups and flickr ideas, but my html skills are limited and the best I can do is get the search plugin to pop up with the advanced search page. Any help? (February 20, 2006)
- Search plugins use the search form from the web sites, so it's impossible for a search plugin can do more than the search form on the web site. --LouCypher ☎ 18:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Lou, thank you for that info. I see that you wrote most of the search plugins for flickr on Mozdev. The advanced search is a new feature offered by flickr that searches through muliple tags. The URL is http://www.flickr.com/photos/search/ , which is different from the tags plgin that already exists. Would it be possible to adapt any of the existing searches to that search page?
The existing plugin, with a search query of "paris cathedral", gives
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/pariscathedral/
...with only photos tagged with that exact phrase.
I tried to do a simple modification of a tag you wrote, but when I attempt it, it returns:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/search/tags?q=paris+cathedral&page=0&sourceid=mozilla-search
... with no search results. Whereas, a search done from the advanced page returns:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/search/tags:paris%2Ccathedral/tagmode:all/
And of course, it has applicable photos that contain both tags uniquely.
[edit] Google Desktop
I want a plugin for Google Desktop and there's none for it on the official MyCroft site. I am therefore disappointed. I would love to be able to search GDS in Firefox. Thanks. --Tom talk/Bliki 03:25, 26 Mar 2005 (EST)

[edit] Template
I noticed on each page it has a link to this page, an arrow, and a category link - wouldn't it just be easier to use a template for all of that?
Template:SP - here it is, to put it on the page use this text:
{{SP|name}}
Where name is the name to show up in the category page.
With permission I can put this on every page ;) --Skuld 15:51, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)
