I was on their beta testers list and as such was also on their mailing list. Last week I got a mail asking me to part-take in an audit with a third party company to gauge my views on the web app so far. Sure I thought (plus there was a chance of getting a $50 Amazon voucher if I was in the first few to reply).

The audit only took a few minutes with simple questions:

  • What do I do?
    Senior software developer for Karova.
  • How did I find out about Krugle?
    On some blog - I'm not sure which one
  • How often do I use it?
    About 4 times a day
  • Will I continue to use it?
    Hell yes
  • Describe it to a friend
    Google for code (but not google cod search of course)
  • Example of when I use it and why do I not choose a competitor
    To quickly find out how to use a specific class

Low and behold I did get a $50 amazon voucher. Thanks guys - it doesn't seem fair really.

The krugle blog have also given me credit for the Firefox search plugin I wrote :)

Then today I saw on their blog that they have the "Krugle Search Environment" which allows you to bookmark searches and thus create a firefox search plugin.

In the archive which you need to save to "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins". I have included a Firefox 1.5 version krugle.src and krugle.png for a C# search and also a Firefox 2.0 Opensearch krugle.xml which also searches C#. The language is quite easy to change or remove if you open the src or xml files.
