Script Summary: Pops up Twitter user's bio, location, web url, and last tweet when you hover over the user's link on the Twitter search results page



Similar to my Twitter Bios at a Glance script, this script runs on the traditional http://search.twitter.com results page and pops up a bio when you hover over a user's url in that search results page. (see screenshot below)

No need to provide your Twitter password. The script only runs locally in your Firefox browser. The AJAX request simply pings each user's profile page to extract the information we display.

New to Greasemonkey? Add the GM extension to your FF browser first https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748, then come back to this page and click on the big Install button up top.

Tech Note: I tried to make this script work on the new integrated Twitter search page, but was not able to appendChild to the main document object there. If anyone can assist, please mention some tips in this script's discussions.
