I submitted a perl monks search plugin to the email address at mycroft.mozdev.org some time ago, but nothing happened.

So if you want to try out my Perl Monks search plugin, you can install it from my business web site:

http://pumptheory.com/collaboration/misc/mozilla/

The plugin has a caveat, quoted from my original email:

The one caveat with it is that the site uses the same url (index.pl) for search results and article display, so the sidebar results list gets cleared when you click on an article. I cannot see any way in the search plugin syntax to deal with this, but I am open to suggestions! I will also suggest to the site maintainers that they change this behaviour to allow the plugin to work properly.
Any comments from the site maintainers?
