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...

Thanks Simpleton,

Quote:

I have already planned for it but for first month I will like to go with simple color scheme to keep it simpler (for both user and programmer). Next month I will give it a PR bar look (not a toolbar just status bar only).

Half done, you can see the screen shot at http://svn.hedir.com/trac/hffe/wiki

Quote:

Great, I will add this to my to-do list. This will be really helpful, I have already integrated a tagging system to hedir.

Quote:
Make it available for ie

Phase II - http://svn.hedir.com/trac/hffe/wiki (can anyone help me with this as I am not comfortable with IE extensions).

Quote:
In short, make it compact but userfriendly.

I am following a cycle here, add-value-added-features -> check simplicity -> add-value-added-features -> check simplicity -> add-value-added-features ... Very Happy

Suggestions and feedbacks keeps me motivated. thanks

regards,
bret

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?

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.

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.
