In the previous iteration of the LibriVox site, there was an add-on to the Firefox search bar for LibriVox. Are there any programmers out there who are willing to take on the development of one for the new (current) site?

School fiction: David Blaize
America Exploration: The First Four Voyages of Amerigo Vespucci
Serial novel: The Wandering Jew
Medieval England meets Civil War Americans: Centuries Apart

I'll see if we can add this to our pages.
