Hey all,

I'm working on fixing this; ff3 / greasemonkey broke something or other. Sorry for the delay.

Yep, it's broken on FF3. However, if you have AdblockPlus, just block: *.nytimes.com/js/common/screen/altClickToSearch.js. Problem solved.

This script also works, as-is, on cbsnews.com, which has the same "feature".

Just add http://www.cbsnews.com/* to the included pages list.

Excellent!
I too select text randomly while reading articles, and this was driving me nuts.

You could just block altClickToSearch.js with Adblock Plus or Opera's built it content blocker.

Great script. This has been annoying me for a while (I have the same habit).

Suggestion: Please add "nytimes.com" to the title or keywords for this script, so that people can find it when searching for scripts for nytimes.com. Thanks!

Thanks Earl, thought I was going crazy at first. What a stupid "feature" NYT has added. I had to restart browser to get your script to work, but works as advertised.
