Re: Need Javascript library for math search

I'm forwarding to dev-tech-mathml. You need to subscribe to 
https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-mathml if you want to post 
(or receive updates on Mozilla MathML devs).

I think interfacing a MathWebSearch web services into a FirefoxOS (for 
Raniere's app or others) would be a great idea.
