Assign Sherlock to Netscapes Search Button

Patrik Montgomery has an interesting way to assign Sherlock to Netscape's Search button!

1. Download the program "Finder Helper"
2. Open the "Internet" control panel and make sure your User Level is Administrator.
3. Select the "Advanced" tab and then the "Helpers" icon
4. Add a new helper of type:finder and select Finder Helper as the program to handle it. Close the control panel
5. Drop Sherlock on the recently downloaded "Finder Helper"
6. Open Communicator with ResEdit and select the "TEXT" resource "config". Scroll until you find the search url, it ends with "/tsearch.html". Select this url and hit Paste. The correct string will now be inserted (Finder Helper placed it in the Clipboard)
7. Close ResEdit and open the Script Editor. Write a script as follows:

tell application "Netscape Communicator™"
register protocol "FHlp" for protocol "finder:"
end tell

8. Run this script. You might have to restart Communicator to make it
work, but it should work anyway. That's it!
