Hi Moz and the rest of you guys.

Sorry of being late in responding.

I teach people how to use Firefox (ver. 2). The in-built seach engine feature
is one of the benefits I teach people to use. In just the previsous version
of Firefox you where directed to a search engine page with a list of us-based
search engines, but at the bottom of that list there was a link to mycroft.mozdev.org.
The link line is now gone as we are directed to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:4.

I know that mycroft.mozdef can be added on the search list but to make use
of it require that you know what to search for. The previous mycroft link
pointed to a page that offer the possibillity to country specific lists,
for people to scan trough looking for something of interest.

I'm sure that many of us found mycroft because there was a visible link to
it. When hundreds and hundreds of search engines are listed it'll, as the
case with the many add-ons, be more and more difficult to find someting of
value.

There are plenty of space to list this quite special page. I think that the
mycroft team should syndicate the page offering pepole to subscribe and thus
keep an eye on newly added search addons.

Best regards
Erik
