When I added it to the Firefox search box and entered "chicago", it searched this URL: http://mapufacture.com/search?keyword=chicago&dtstart={time:start?}&dtend={time:stop?}&location={geo:locationString?}&lat={geo:lat?}&lon={geo:lon?}&distance={geo:radius?}&bbox={geo:box?}&limit=&page= which yields an error. Apparently Firefox isn't "smart" enough to remove the optional params when there are no values? Trimming everything after "chicago" above gets the correct results. Are there any public examples of tools which apply geo parameters to open search? It sounds like a great building block. Unfortunately, it looks like the Mapufacture search doesn’t quite work right.
