Script Update Checker, replied by Richard Davies

You should take a look at "Script Update Checker" http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/20145. It's a few lines of code that you can copy and paste into your GreaseMonkey script that enable it to automatically check userscripts.org for updated versions of the script.

It only takes a minute or two to add it to your script, and then users will automatically be notified whenever you update this script. Please take a look because I think this is a nice feature this script could take advantage of.

Not working on "Firefox" search page, replied by Richard Davies

I've fixed the script so that it's now working on the Firefox search page. In addition, I've also modified it so that it doesn't require use of the "unsafeWindow" object:

(function() {
	function suggestScript() {
		var f = document.evaluate("//form[@action='/search']", document, null, XPathResult.   FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue ||
			document.evaluate("//form[@action='http://images.google.com/images']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue ||
			//document.evaluate("//form[@action='/news']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue ||
			document.evaluate("//form[@action='/books']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue ||
			//document.evaluate("//form[@action='/codesearch']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue ||
			document.evaluate("//form[@action='/patents']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue ||
			//document.evaluate("//form[@action='/products']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue ||
			//document.evaluate("//form[@action='/custom']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue ||
			document.evaluate("//form[@action='/unclesam']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;// ||
			//document.evaluate("//form[@action='/linux']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue ||
			//document.evaluate("//form[@action='/bsd']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue ||		
			//document.evaluate("//form[@action='/microsoft']", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;
		if (!f) return; 
		if (!f.q || !f.btnG) return;
		if(!google) google={};
	    var s = document.createElement('script');
		s.setAttribute("src", "http://www.google.com/extern_js/f/CgJlbhICdXMrMAo4DSwrMA44AywrMBg4Ayw/AQ-hC7_2R8g.js");
		var ev = new Object();
	    ev.handleEvent = function (e) {
			if(google.ac){
				window.setTimeout('window.google.ac.i(f,f.q,"",false,"close",true)',100);
				f.q.setAttribute("autocomplete", "off");
				f.q.blur();
				f.q.focus();
			}
	    };
	    s.addEventListener('load', ev, true);
		s.removeEventListener('load', ev, false);
		document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);
	};

	document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("script")).innerHTML="(" + suggestScript + ")()";

})();

It didn't worked for me either :(
I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 on Debian Lenny and Greasemonkey 0.8.20080609.0

It works for me on google.nl
Unfortunately it does not work on iGoogle (google.nl/ig). I do not get the firefox autocomplete suggestions like normal but neither get google suggest results.
I'll try to figure out why it doesn't work perfectly.

hi there, great script!

unfortunately, it seems to have stopped working for me recently, any idea of it's just me or if it's due to changes on google's end?

anyhow, it's one of my "must-have" scripts, thanks again for your work :)

Sorry, I forgot, I removed repeating unsafeWindow and added these lines:
if (f) f = f.wrappedJSObject; else return;
and also removed function stuff (can't get why do you need it if call it only once).

Thank you very much, Aaron. The code is merged into 0.5. If somebody will propose some better way, as you asked, I will change it.

I was having a problem on the /ig page. The query field starts out with focus, so for some reason the code to disable autocomplete doesn't work right away (until you blur and refocus).

To fix it, I added:
f.q.blur();
f.q.focus();
after:
f.q.setAttribute("autocomplete", "off");

Anyone know a better way?

Mikado, I'm sorry but it won't work without "unsafeWindow". You may check this yourself. Or, perhaps, there are some restrictions on my PC

You can remove unsafeWindow. before document.evaluate.
