Where on Google Reader are the search boxes supposed to appear?

ravi: there are instructions at the top of the script's source, basically you search for test with your custom engine, then you put your custom search url where it says REPLACE-THIS and remove the q=test from the url.

Really sorry, I'm just an idiot and forgot to add the REPLACE-THIS text that the directions speak of. That should be fixed. Also, I fixed problems with the script not showing when you 'Search All' and if you didn't replace the 'REPLACE-THIS' text it should tell you next to you try to search with it.

I'm sorry it had this problem for so long...

When clicking "Search all" nothing happens. "Search feed" works fine, though. Any ideas?

I'm afraid I'm not sure I understand the setting up of this script. I go to my google custom search engine and I need to set up a search. I'm not sure what criteria I'm meant to enter here.

Without doing that step I can still Search All, but not Search Feed, which yields no results.

This sends cpu usage through the roof even when I disabled the script. As soon as I uninstalled, things returned to normal even without a restart. Using FF 2.0.0.3 and GM 0.6.8 (still waiting for bugfix release for newest version).

mandrill: Go to your profile folder, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder and open the gm_scripts folder. Delete this scripts file and try installing it again. The filename should have googlereadercustomsearch in it. If you are still having problems, you might want to ask in the forms since it seems like more of a greasemonkey specific problem than a problem specific to this script.

I can't install the script every time I try I get:
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520008 NS_EROOR_FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS)[nsILocalFile.copyto]" nsresult:"0x80520008 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://greasemonkey/content/config.js :: anonymous :: line 148" data: no]
Is there any way to fix this?

Jackson, the script should be fixed now. Sorry I didn't notice Google changed things up sooner.

It seems I've got the search working, but when I do a search I can't see the results. I get a really narrow column where it looks like my results are, and I can scroll up and down, but I can't actually see anything. How can I fix that?

I was thinking why in the world it was not working for me. And then I have figured out, that "Customize Google" extension was switching protocols to https:// and all the links in this script are set to http://

It would be good if you could include the same links with https:// in the future releases.

Cheers!

Is there any way to have the search results link to the Google Reader item instead of the original website? That way we could tag / label / add to favorites the item. Right now I only see a link to the original and a link to the google cache.

Great work!

I'm not sure what this does even if after I added the extra included url. Neither search box gets results.

Very useful, thanks John.

The searchbox position does not fit all layouts, i changed line 54 to this :
var style="#searchContainer {position: absolute;top: 17px; left: 158px;margin: 0;}";

This is the "less bad" position i found to fix with the "Google Reader Optimized" script.

John, I get results when a do a "Search Feed", but never anything when I do "Search All". This could be user error, but I don't think so...

Any advice?

Thanks JohnM for taking the time to create this very useful script.

For the script to work I had to go into the "Manage User Scripts..." in Greasemonkey and add:

http://www.google.com/reader/view/*

to the "Included Pages". The above URL is the URL that comes up for me everytime I go to Google Reader.
