This is a simple but useful script that allows you quickly open up an AvatarWiki search from the TinTin++ client. '''(Requires FireFox for now<sup>[1]</sup>)'''

== Code ==
''Put the following into a file in your tintin++ folder and use '''#read <filename>''' while in tintin to load them up. Though you probably want this to autoload with your character.''
#alias wiki {#system {firefox "http://avatar.melanarchy.info/index.php/Special:Search?search=%0&go=Go"}}

== Usage ==
* Just type: '''wiki''' ''<search string>''
* It'll go directly to whatever page you search for, or if it can't find a direct match, it'll show you similar results. Just like searching from here!

<sup>[1]</sup> This was made and tested in Ubuntu linux with Firefox installed. It should work in other OSes and/or other browsers, though you may have to change "firefox" to the path to your browser. There very well may be a more graceful way to do this which doesn't rely on a specific hard-coded browser. I'll look into it when I have a windows test box around.
