SearchLoad Options - Firefox Add-on of the Day

SearchLoad OptionsToday's extension goes great with the YubNub add-on that I suggested a week ago. SearchLoad Options lets you take control over what happens when you are searching from the Firefox search bar. This extension is chock full of useful features, such as clearing the search field after a user-set amount of time. You are also able to have it get reset back to another search engine, one that you use the most. So, if you are done searching IMDb or Amazon, you can have it set to go back to Google after a few seconds.

The feature that I love most about SearchLoad Options is that you can have your search results pop up in a new tab instead of the current tab. One of the most annoying things about Firefox is that the search bar results appear in your current tab. Most of the time I, if not all the time, just use the shortcut key to get the cursor into the search field (Ctrl + E or Ctrl + K) and start typing and hit enter when I'm finished. And then I start kicking myself in the butt if I'm half way done with a post and the search results just popped up in the same window, erasing all my work. Now I just do the same thing and my results come up in a new tab. I highly recommend this one for those keyboard lovers out there.

And, as always, if you have something better than this extension, or any extension for that matter, please leave me your suggestions in the comments below.
