great extension. Recommend. First search results entries are just right on the topics - encyclopedic articles!

Neat concept, expect that the plugin doesn't seem to have any options to finetune which sources are included or the order in which they're returned in the results, and it doesn't seem to use the encyclosearch cookies either. A couple of the included sources have proven to be less than useful and the order seems to go alphabetical. As it is, I might as well just use the website since the top 3 results aren't of much use to me (I do a lot of computer tech searching)

I definitely like the idea of this, and it has potential. But it's got a way to go. The search results haven't been particularly relevant to what I've searched for, and it's a bit on the slow side. I'll flip it back on in a few months to give it another go. It's a worthy project.
