To search for air travel site. Here is the format
air SFO ORD

air SFO ORD 08/21/2006 08/29/2006

This is an open source initiative.

his plugin provides xml driven framework to collect data from HTTP/HTML, web services and other data sources, convert incoming html to xml and then apply necessary xsl to filter the data.

New data sources can be supported by implemeting xml driver file and xsls. So plugin doesn't have to change to support new datasources.

This plugin is developed in java and needs java plugin version 1.4.2 or above installed.
You can get latest java version from http://www.java.com
