Actually for making any search query we'll have to make Ajax request to different domain (imdb, google) and natively browser doesn't support them. In case of Greasemonkey, Scripts are allowed to make crossdomain request. That is why such scripts are feasible easily. Anyway if someone wants to make such a bookmarklet then, serverside support is also needed. In this case the script will make a JSONP request and do the search... But i think this is too much of effort, its better to have firefox and encourage your users to use the same. The only problem as I see for making a bookmarklet is : Cross-Domain Ajax request.

Can we make a bookmarklet for this so that we can do this in any browser, like in Opera ( We just see what's selected and then open the search page of imdb via JS and scrape the rating using regex ) .
