This used to work perfectly for me, but now my Google searches return with the format "google.com/#hl-en&q=". What happened? And how can I add this URL to Greasemonkey to get this script working again?

You're going to need to give me more details than that. What exactly is the url when you're performing this search?

I've just tried it using this and it works fine -- http://www.google.com/search?&q=ubuntu

i've just install the latest version and youtube link looks fine now, but I see another bug for googles' videos:
1. search for "ubuntu" word
2. link under image is
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-610449...
and it works fine. But link under text
"Ubuntu Linux / Windows Dual Boot Instructional Video" is
http://www.google.com.ua/videoplay?docid=-61044...
and it tells me "404 page not found". I thought it's due to ukrainian domain www.google.com.ua, so
i've also tried link http://www.google.com/videoplay?docid=-61044908... - no success :(

How to add a search-engine searching for the alternatives to the term queried?, replied by vak

vak — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 11:51:04 +0000

Hi,

I'd like to add the search results from dooblet.com containing the alternatives to the term queried.
The sript doesn't look very easy to add a new search-engine for me.

Can anyone guide me? My entry point regarding dooblet.com is like following:

The JSON API for dooblet.com:
http://dooblet.com/feeds/api/_/

License:
http://dooblet.com/feeds/data-export-license-1-...

The entry on programmableweb: http://www.programmableweb.com/api/dooblet

thanks
Valery

I don't think it would work well for this script to have a wider column. However to widen the Google search results, I recommend you use the Stylish Firefox Add-on with this style.

@Sergiy: I already fixed this bug. Do you have the latest version of this script installed?

I'm using this script...
http://userstyles.org/styles/9844

And I tried with 2 or 3 columns in result, but the problem continues....

...I think that when the results of the first page are short and have space to load more results, the AutoPagerize Script tries to load the second page immediately, but Google Extras has not loaded completely, when it appears, it does at the bottom of the results.. if I try to go down to see the Google Extra contents, the AutoPagerize does its work and load the third page, so Google Extra go down one more time.

This is the reason because I ask to you if its possible to add a code to make the Google Extras box blocked on the first page.

Thanks for your time and I wish you great successes.

@tonyaross: Thanks for the comment, I'll definitely look at fixing this when I get home from work tonight. It sounds like it should just be a simple one-liner fix.

I cannot launch any video links from the search results. Error message, "server cannot find, Firefox can't find the server at video.google.comhttp." It looks like the "http" part of the link is in the wrong order.

It's a great script otherwise.

@-=[ KaaMoS ]=- : Can you please give an example of a page you're having problems with. I personally have never experienced a problem like this. Also, I believe there are other sciipts that will display google results in multiple columns that are compatible with this script.

So I have a problem, in some cases, the "Google Extra" Box dissapears of the top-right of the result page, actually it moves down, at the bottom of results when I scroll down.

But the problem is worse if I go to the next page (for example, using AutoPagerize), because the "Google Extra" Box moves at the end again, and again... so I can't select any result from the "Google Extra" with the cursor.

I repeat, this problem happens on the 35%-45% of the times.

I don't know if you can add a code for showing the "Google Extra" Box blocked/fixed on its original position into the results page in order to fix that error.

On other hand, I don't know if you can add some codes for showing "multicolumn"Google results, so I have a wide LCD monitor and I'm wasting a lot of space on the middle of the results page (by this way we can organize the free spaces).

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

@znerp:
Thanks. Because I can't use the feature pronunciation, I removed dictionary.com from the script.

znerp — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 16:09:13 +0000

@switzerland: I've had a more detailed look, and it looks like the white 'p' on a red background signified that that feature is only available for Premium subscribers to dictionary.com. If you are a premium subscriber though, or you would still like to see the image, you can simply change line 717 of the script to...

dict.replace(/href=\"\//g, "href=\"http://dictionary.reference.com/").replace(/<\/?noscript>/ig, "") +

@switzerland: I'm at work at the moment and my screenshot's been blocked by our over-zealous internet access policy. I'll have a look when I get home, but I would imagine that possibly the dictionary.com interface has changed in the past year since I took the screenshot hence the lack of this white p. With respect to the speaker image, as I said before - I don't know if this is possible or if it's ever actually worked with this script.

@znerp
I saw this white p on red background and the loudspeaker in your screenshot right above. I don't know what this p stands for, I just wanted you to know, that two things don't work on this site. I didn't use dictionary.com yet, but I wanted to use the feature pronunciation.

@switzerland: I can't see what you mean by the white p on red background. Could you give me an example word where this should show? I've tried to get the loudspeaker to appear, but I think because it uses an embedded flash object it wouldn't be possible to play the sound.

Hi znerp
Very nice and helpful script, works almost perfect.
Little problem: On dictionary.com the white p on red background and the loudspeaker-icon don't appear. Using Firefox 3.01, AdBlock Plus deactivated. What shall I do?
Thanks, switzerland

@kaamos: I've installed this GoogleMonkeyR script and I can see the problem you're having (as per Ronen's pictures), but I also have the exact same problem with it running over sponsored links too. Perhaps you should take this up with the author of that script.
