I'm not aware of any easy way to do that, no. Currently Seamonkey only accepts search plugins in the old Sherlock format; I think Bing is only available in the new OpenSearch format. Unfortunately, the Mycroft Project has been delisting the Sherlock plugins if there is an equivalent OpenSearch one. So, you can't even try an old MSN or Live Search plugin to see if will work with Bing. There's a bug open in Bugzilla - Bug 410613, on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410613 regarding exactly this problem. As a workaround, you can use bookmark keywords. The procedure is as follows: 1. Create a bookmark for Bing (I prefer having a separate bookmark just for this, so the "regular" Bing bookmark does not get the extra stuff). 2. Edit the bookmark, replacing the "location" line with http://www.bing.com/search?q=%s 3. Add a keyword of your liking in the "Keyword" line. For instance, "Bing" or even "b". Now, if you type a line such as bing applied phlebotinum you will get the Bing search results for "applied phlebotinum" The nice part of this is you can have several bookmarks, each one related to a different search. For instance, I have the following: Google: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s IMdB: http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=%s Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=%s -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
