[Firefox] Neowin News Search 0.3

[Veedems Veteran]

Well, after my Yahoo! Video Search rush job this morning, I thought I would do something for myself and put together a Neowin News search for the Firefox search bar. You may have to restart Firefox to see the icon in the search bar because it doesn't always seem to load the png immediately after installation like it does gifs.

To install the search script, goto http://s95078194.onlinehome.us/

gah I screwed it up first time around. 0.2 is out now. It automatically sorts it in descending order since I think it makes more sense this way.

edit: lol 0.3 is out. I forgot to add the settings to search not only titles, but full posts and articles also. This is what I get for rushing. Sorry guys.

[Rablet]

From 0.1 to 0.3 in 13minutes. Thats pretty quick IMO :D

At this rate it'll be about 13.7 in a few days :)

j/k

Edit: btw, thanks for the update :)

Cheers bangbang023, works a freat (Y)

NyaR, good idea actually, unless it would be a bother on the forums bandwidth?

I'm trying. There are a few "fun" sides of IPB that make me angry and you won't like me when I'm angry.

edit: I don't think it's going ot be possible unless I can figure some pretty tricky stuff out. IPB encrypts the search text and then assigns an SID which contains all the information. You can't exactly just get an FX search script to assign an IPB compatible SID.

Nice (Y). I also agree on the "forum sezrch" idea.

As I said, I don't think it's going to be possible. IPB is a little more difficult with these kind of things.

This is a neowin thing, but you can only search for words with 3 or more characters.

You can use google to search for short words, such as "usb" this way...

The seacrh was updated recently to allow 3 character searching. If you are only searching for two characters, only then are you out of luck.

Really? AWESOME! :cool: It has sooo sucked to not be able to type in USB, CPU, RAM and other 3-letter computer-related terms.

Well, the Google thing will still work for two-letter searches, like "CD" or... ummm... "if". :p

Ahhh, didn't know there was a 2 character limit now, but, i tried searching for gpl and it didnt work, said that the search string needs to be 3 characters or more, so i think i just found a bug.
