Hi Andrew,

I think the ff search bar must be built into the ff native code base.  I
submitted a 
support request, but who knows if it will get actioned.  Maybe if it got
built
for ff, the other browsers would follow suit.

Cheers,
Peter

Indeed, this would be superb. I had thought the  MiniMap sidebar
extension supported it, but found out it doesn't. It seems like a
straight-forward modification for someone to extend it to support
searching an OpenSearch-Geo endpoint. Perhaps something to hack on at
WhereCamp in a few weeks?
