Hi guys, I wonder if addons are simply searches that require additional files, beyond the .xml spec? It seems so, looking at the existing ones. Other than that, I don't see how being an addon would allow greater reach than a search, except perhaps by convention. I think that's it, anyway: an

I think that's probably pretty close to being accurate. In fact, I bet I could rewrite iptools as a search to keep in line with DQSD convention. iptools doesn't use anything special, really. When I made it I didn't know any better *shrug*, but I think the terminology is a little confusing.

I have used most of the add-ons, and have the (3rd party) iptools addon installed now, but have given up on most of the others over time. The functionality exposed by addons is almost always available directly as a search, so I use that method now - writing a replacement for it if I have to. I do
