Most of web developers, especially who are dealing with flash, usually need to find some sound or loop. Personally I am not a flash developer, so had only a few flash projects or better to say projects with flash parts :) But I felt myself uncomfortable when I had to go to some royalty free music site and only than search for what I needed. How it would be great to have it integrated into my browser search box I thought, and after a small research I have found
Cool Stock Music. I am not sure about other sites yet, have just found this one. May be somebody else is providing similar thing too, but that is not important right now. Once you got to the site with your firefox or IE (as far as I know search plugins are supported from IE7) you can open search engine selection, like on the image below and add "Cool Stock Music" to the list of search engines.
Once new engine is added to the list you can search sounds and loops right from the search box. Personally I am finding this very handy, as I do not have to go to the site, search form (do not want to remind all my disappointments). But what I like even more, are suggestions that are shown exactly like for google search, and sometimes good suggestion can save lot of time :)
Hope that someone will find this article useful and it will save somebody little bit of time and little bit of nerve cells. Personally I like this "search plugin" approach and think that guys on the right way :)
