I suggest-
Make it available for ie. There are more people using ie than ff.
Include option to check relevancy. Put a small relevancy bar (much like the PR bar) along Google or other SE results when this extension is installed. This bar should show the relevancy points for a site for that particular search term. Show tick mark to declare a site fit for visiting( like siteadvisor). Allow user to tag the site instantly(this can be made available to the user when he/she clicks on the relevancy bar).

In short, make it compact but userfriendly.
More of my inputs later...

I downloaded it, but... I don't get it. I'm not sure if it just isn't fully functional yet or if something isn't working, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I've got the little grey menu in my toolbar, but I don't see any of the green or red colors mentioned on the example page. When I click "View Community Review" option I just get a blank page. The site address says: "http://www.hedir.com/hffe/http%3A//<servername>/<page>" Is that right?

View community review is not working yet but I am getting the green and red color on my status bar button.

If I hover the mouse over the plugin toolbar I get the vote count (note there is a typo in "Recommendent by" should be "Recommended by")... but no colors/graphics.

Thanks Winterfrost, I will correct it and also I am trying to get it working with a better interface.

I am working on some add-on features and some modification for the firefox extension. I am planning to integrate the search result with it after the next release.
