[…] Another option is to use my Oracle Docs Firefox search plugin. In the Firefox search box (top right corner), I make sure that Oracle Docs is selected, I type in what I am looking for then hit enter (usually I hit Alt+Enter to open the result in a new tab). […]

[…] Even though the “Format results into a virtual book” has always been an option for displaying Oracle documentation search results, I have never paid attention to it until Tom Kyte mentioned it in his latest podcast. After trying out this option a couple of times, I noticed that it could easily be converted to a Firefox search plugin. Unlike my other Oracle documentation search plugin, this one is version specific. I have created three search plugins, one for Oracle DB version 8.1.7, one for 9.2 and another for 10.2. The result of the search is directly formatted into a virtual book. […]

Thanks Uday. That’s a pretty neat trick using bookmark keywords.

Hi Eddie,

Thanks for the plugin.

Here is another simple method:

Add following link as bookmark and while bookmarking in the ‘Keyword’ field, give some short code…say oradoc.

http://www.oracle.com/pls/db92/print\_hit\_summary?search_string=%s

This will allow you to search directly from the address bar, instead of going to the search field. Just type the keyword followed by the search string:

oradoc sys_context
oradoc alter table

Enjoy!
