XCP Search Extension

This simple extension contains several Counterparty-related search features:

1) Developer-oriented search: select-and-search Counterparty Github code, open issues, and documentation across all Counterparty repositories, as well as the Counterpartytalk.org

2) General curiosity: select-and-search Counterparty (XCP) address holdings, asset info and tx_index using blockscan.com

3) Occasionally Asked Questions: query Bitcoin address balance and tx hash and (for the bored and idle) check Counterparty address balance on testnet.

This extension sends you directly to the correct destinations:
- Github.com
- Counterparty block explorer: blockscan.com
- Bitcoin block explorer: blockchain.info
- Counterparty support site: counterpartytalk.org

CHANGELOG:
- 0.7 (May 16, 2015): due to Support content migration to CounterpartyTalk.org, change target of support search to counterpartytalk.org
- 0.6 (Jan 26, 2015): minor menu modifications, same functionality
- 0.5 (Jan 26, 2015): added search of Counterparty repo (code), docs and support site. Added testnet (t) address search, asset info (m) lookup. Reordered menu items for hopefully easier use by devs and troubleshooters.
NOTE: (m) stands for mainnet, (t) stands for testnet
- 0.4: initial release

This extension requires no tricky permissions, contains no adds, and performs no tracking.
