Greasemonkey Script for Live.com Search

As I was testing some client results, I noted that my searches on Live.com were not getting numbered. I use a great little script for the Greasemonkey Firefox plugin as detailed by Joe’s blog on Firefox plugins here.

After a quick search I determined that there wasn’t one available. But then I had a quick look at the one I have to umber MSN Results and wondered if it would work the same for Live.

And lo and behold, it does. Here are the instructions:

  1. Right click on your Greasemonkey icon in the bottom right hand corner.
  2. Select “Manage User Scripts”
  3. Find the “Number MSN Results” script
  4. In “Included Pages” select “Add”.
  5. Type http://search.live.*
    in the box and click OK
  6.  You should now have something that looks like this

  7. Click close, and now searching live.com has numbered results too!

There are so many tools in Firefox to make the life of a professional seo easier, it is just  fantastic.
