How can I create a search plugin for multiple fields

There are a number of sites that have search capabilities but they require entries into multiple fields. One such site is for instance the IBM Employee directory. (http://www.ibm.com/contact/employees/servlets/lookup) On this site - in order to get usable results - I have to enter both First name and Last name of the employee I'm looking for. I created a search plugin for the site, however I wasn't able to split the entered text into two parts and provide them as separate fields for the form.

Is there a way to do this?

Regards,

Imre

Maybe via a keyword bookmarklet.

Hi,

This is excellent. Not search-plugin though but but this is as good as a search-plugin. (Even better, as I haven't seen any solution with the plugins for the problem.) I didn't know that it was possible to use javascript as bookmark location.

Thanks, Imre
