The Mycroft project provides a collection of search plugins for Mozilla-based web browsers. The open source project is hosted on Mozdev.org and has been in existence since 2000. The project is named after Mycroft Holmes, the fictional older, smarter, and less ambitious brother of Sherlock Holmes, as a reference to Mycroft being based on Apple Computer's Sherlock search technology. A search plug-in provides the ability to access a search engine from a web browser, without having to go to its website first. Technically, a search plug-in is a small text file that 'tells' a computer what information to send to a search engine and how the results are to be retrieved.  1, record 1, English, - Mycroft%20Project

Le Projet Mycroft est une collection open source de modules de recherche pour les navigateurs web basés sur Mozilla. Le nom du projet fait référence à la technologie Sherlock d'Apple : Mycroft Holmes est le frère aîné de Sherlock Holmes. Un «module de recherche» est un composant donnant un accès direct à un moteur de recherche (ou à une fonction de recherche intégrée à un site web), sans avoir besoin de visiter le site avant de lancer la recherche.  1, record 1, French, - Projet%20Mycroft
