Search Plug-ins for WannaBe

WannaBe uses the same search plug-in format that is used by Apple's Sherlock application. Therefore, the same plug-ins can be used for both applications. However, you do NOT need to have the Sherlock application or a newer version of MacOS to use the plug-ins. As long as WannaBe works, the plug-ins should too.

At the time of this writing, the most recent version of WannaBe (1.0a26), does not automatically scan for plug-ins. To use one, you must choose "Search Using Plug-in..." from the "Go" menu, then use the standard dialog to find and open the plug-in you wish to use.

Bug with using Search Plug-ins

I'm still working on implementing support for the HTTP POST method. If a plug-in/search site uses this method, the plug-in will not work with WannaBe.
