Helping Kids -- Search for Charity -- ClicksCount

I blogged about some of the bigger "Get Paid to Search" offers by search engines like Blingo and A9, and I mentioned how Yahoo and Microsoft were thinking about getting into search rewards as well. Now it seems that Microsoft is doing it in the UK, but with a twist -- the money goes to charity.

Every time somebody searches at clickscount.co.uk, Microsoft donates money to NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, an organisation that's been protecting kids in the UK since 1884.

I think this is really cool, and I'm trying to figure out how to write a Firefox search plugin that will let me add ClicksCount to my Firefox Quick Search box. If anybody knows how do to this, or can point me to a tutorial or something, please leave a comment or email.
