Note: This code only works if you have saved the file and put in a profile folder of Mozilla Firefox. Here is how you do it. For Windows Vista (Windows 6) /Windows 7: You have to put it in here: C:\Users\[Insert User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[Junk code here].default\searchplugins\

For Windows XP (Windows 5) or Windows 2000 (Not Windows ME) Users: C:\Documents and Settings\Insert User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[Junk code here].default\searchplugins\

Opera

Opera is simple, just keep in mind that the search engine input is stored as %s which you'll need to append to the basic scorecard URL.

In Opera:

  1. Click the search engine select menu, then Manage Search Engines
  2. Click Add
    • Name type WOT Scorecard
    • Keyword type WOT Scorecard
    • Address type or copy / paste: 
      http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/%s
  3. Click OK to save
