Adding Search Sites

Open your web brower and do a search at the site you wish to add. In the web browser's address bar, replace your search text with the 'Special Text' and copy the whole thing to the clipboard. Now right-click on GeoWebSearch and select 'New Search URL From Clipboard' from the menu. GeoWebSearch should automatically download the favicon for the web site and set this new seach site as the active one. You can also change the search's icon from the plugin menu.
