Hi, does anyone know of a Firefox search addon which will *just* look
in CLHS? I am fairly sure I could write one, but I am lazy. The
lispdoc one (which I use) gets all sorts of non-CLHS stuff, which I
generally do not want

Thanks

I used to have a search addon that I got from somewhere, but I don't use
it anymore. Now I just use a Firefox smart bookmark to lookup CLHS
entries.

I got this from Zach Beane quite some time ago. Just create a new
bookmark to http://xach.com/clhs?q=%s, with a name of clhs and a keyword
of clhs.

Then in the url bar, I just type "clhs make-array" and I get redirected
to the CLHS page on make-array. Way cool!

One can also use yubnub.org rather than making a search bookmark on
every computer one uses. This is what I do, which is particularly handy
when I'm using a machine other than my own.

Thanks, that is indeed fairly cool. Combined with the IRC specbot
thing I'm now probably OK!
