Would definitely increase my likelihood of going to Freebase.com
Firefox search add-on?

Hey Mike,
I thought this would be cool too. Unfortunately, it would be pretty "un-freebasy-semantic"; we would be searching for display name matches only since the MozSearch/OpenSearch doesn't support much more than that.
That being said, I did write a very rudimentary example that returns the top 30 results (no autocomplete). I'll send it to you.

Actually, someone already wrote one… but it broke when the Freebase search API changed. It’s being rewritten, and we will be sure to announce it when it’s ready!

If you build one that can take suggestions, you should definitely put up a prominent link on this site.

I wrote one for my personal use recently. Nothing fancy, but it at least allows me to quickly search Freebase. I just needed to get permission to use the Freebase icon before I make it public. Let me know if this is an issue, otherwise, you can install it from here.

I have re-written the search plugin (using OpenSearch description) that includes suggestions. Please delete the older version and replace it with this. I believe it will only work with Firefox for now, IE7 support will come later. Any feedback/suggestions are appreciated.

I've made some changes to the search plugin. The script that provides suggestions now runs on Google App Engine.
