I've got something for y'all: A Lostpedia OpenSearch plugin.
If you use Firefox (or, as I understand it, the new Internet Explorer 7), you know about the search plugin function in the upper-right of your browser. Usually they're defaulted to Google Search, but you can add other search engines to the drop-down list.
So I made one for Lostpedia. It's currently at Mozilla's Mozdev.org Mycroft page (http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=lostpedia&category=31&country=all&language=all&submitform=Search&opensearch=yes), and needs testing/judging. I've been using it for about a week with no issues.
The idea is you go to that page, click on the name and it'll automatically install the search plugin (for Firefox or IE7 -- it's based on OpenSearch standards). Then choose the Lostpedia search engine from the drop-down menu, type your query, and if it's in Lostpedia, it'll pop right up.
And if it works for you, go ahead and judge it at the Mycroft page (http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=lostpedia&category=31&country=all&language=all&submitform=Search&opensearch=yes), and it'll go live.
