As an SEO I use intitle/inanchor counts from Google to help gauge keyword competitiveness on a regular basis. I type well over 80 words per minute but even I get tired of typing: intitle:keyword inanchor:keyword dozens of times per day. To remedy this we created a simple firefox search addon to automatically search Google for intitle/inanchor counts on any query.

To activate this search plugin

just click on the glowing down arrow next to your firefox search bar search engine icon at the very top right of your browser. There is a glowing down arrow next to the G, Y!, L or (A?) icon for your default search provider. Click on that arrow and scroll down to “Add Intitle/Inanchor” and left click. This will add our extension to your list of selectable search engines. Thats it. It’s ridiculously easy to make the XML file required to pass search parameters to:
