There is a Firefox search extension for FOLDOC.

Cusser's Context Search extension lets you use any search extension on the selected text.

Other Browsers

The instructions below will give you a button in your browser that will search FOLDOC for any word you have selected in the browser window, or, if nothing is selected, prompt you for a search string. If you don't enter anything and just click OK, the button will take you to the FOLDOC home page.

Netscape Navigator

In the View > Show menu, ensure that Personal Toolbar is ticked.

Drag this link to your Personal Toolbar:
FOLDOC

Internet Explorer

In the View > Toolbars menu, ensure that Links is ticked.

Drag this link onto your Links toolbar:
FOLDOC

IE Search Shortcut

Run this file to allow you to type FOLDOC queries directly in the IE address bar, preceded by f and a space.

Tip: never run a ".reg" file straight off the web. Save it and check it in a text editor first.

(Thanks to Scott Treacy).

Galeon

The Galeon web browser supports bookmarks that take arguments. To add a "smart bookmark" to FOLDOC, add a bookmark with "http://foldoc.org/" as URL and "http://foldoc.org/%s" as smart URL.

(Thanks to Auke Jilderda for this info).
