The Berry411 Plugins page is a new feature of the Berry411 service. It provides a categorized directory of all Berry411 search plugins, including previews of the results from each plugin. You can also add new plugins and share them with the Berry411 community.

Some of the best ideas for plugins, like the recently flight tracking plugin, come from users, so this is an easy do-it-yourself way for any user to add a plugin. (A plugin can point to the results of search form, or simply be a convenient name for a page to save users to trouble of typing a long URL.)

Personalization features like Berry Plugins will now be much easier for me to implement, now that I have rewritten the core of the Berry411 backend in Ruby on Rails. It’s possible there will be a few bumps in the road with this significant transition, so please share with me any problems you might encounter as well as suggestions for improvement.

And please do create some plugins!
