This is a quick tip!

One thing has bothered me quite in Firefox 3, besides the incompatibility of some extensions [1], the search through the Google plugin that comes by default (that field in front of the address bar) to search only pages in English. This means that many expected results, when studied in google.com.br not appear. Further complicating the result does not show those options to be considered only in Portuguese pages or just pages of Brazil. Fortunately all the world as Linux is very flexible (that does not mean easy or simple ) You can change the Google search plugin to search for pages in Portuguese.

To achieve the change we must edit the file / usr/lib/firefox-3.0/searchplugins/google.xml, but it is important to perform this task as root. Whereas your admin user is in the group (the user created in the facility where this group admin) run the shortcut Alt + F2 to open the box, implementation of application and type: sudo gedit / usr/lib/firefox-3.0/searchplugins / google.xml (you can copy and paste) and click on "Run." Will be asked your password, then to tell it, the file is opened in the editor gedit. Go to the line seven (7) and replace the URL http://www.google.com by http://www.google.com.br, the line is this:

<Url Type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://www.google.com.br/search">

Save the file and close gedit. Now, you start to do their research in Portuguese and still have those options to change the filter to only pages or pages in Portuguese in Brazil. If not work the first restart your Firefox.

That is what I hope to seize!
