Better jQuery plugins search

Everyone wants one and, let’s face it, anyone cool already seems to have one.

I’m talking of course about overlays, or modal windows, those dialog boxes that grey out most of the browser screen to focus your attention on a  short but important form that needs completing, or to show you an image gallery, or basically make things which could look cooler, look cooler.

So I needed to make one of these for work, and off I went to the jQuery site to search its plug-ins.

However, to give an indication of how good the jQuery site search is, the top result for “overlay” is

IE6 crashing when you click an image

… and this is when the search is restricted to the plug-ins subsite!

So I did what any other person who is me would do in a situation like this – I searched Google, restricting the search to site:plugins/jquery.com/project, and was so impressed with the results that I created the Better jQuery plugins search.
