how to use with your custom gecko

1. make sure the server is running with harp server
2. build gecko-dev following the instructions
3. when the custom nightly opens up, add prefs:

• surf to about:config
• create a new pref (right-click in the main pref area, then choose New > String)
• name it services.universalSearch.frameURL
• set its value to the complete path to the iframe URL, for example, http://localhost/iframe.html
• create another new String pref
• name it services.universalSearch.baseURL
• set its value to the scheme and domain part of the iframe URL, for example, http://localhost
