Screen Shots

Screen shot shows some features coming in the next release.

Quick Search Shortcuts & MultiSearch

The search shortcuts are to be typed into the Google search. It redirects you to the appropriate site for the search. Shortcuts are in the format of "type:what you want to search for:" (no quotes, just put your exact search between the two :'s). For example, if you wanted to search for quotes from Einstein, just type in the Google search bar "quote:Einstein:" (again, no quotes). Current shortcut types include:

• WikiQuotes - Code: quote
• WikiHow - Code: howto
• Wiktionary - Code: defin
• AniDB - Code: anidb
• IMDB - Code: imdb
• GameFAQs - Code: gamefaq
• Digg - Code: diggs
• Youtube - Code: utube
• Wikipedia - Code: wikipda
• Flicker - Code: flckr
• CNN - Code: cnns
• Source Forge - Code: opnsrc
• Ebay - Code: eby
• ESPN - Code: espns

These are the current options, but more can be added at request. Please message me or post requests in the comments.

MultiSearch

The MultiSearch feature utilizes the Search Shortcuts and the tab system. To search for multiple things, merely use any amount of the shortcuts you would like. Or to search for multiple things in Google, use the code "goog" (no quotes). For example, if you'd like to search for futurama on wikipedia, halo and star wars on google, and 21 in imdb, the full search would be (in no specific order) "wikipda:futurama: googl:halo: googl:star wars: imdb:21:" (no quotes). The last one in the list will open up in the current tab, the rest will open up in new tabs.

Video Player Information

The player area simply loads the video from the site and embeds it in that sites default player. Currently, only Google Video, Youtube, and MetaCafe are supported. More may be added later, but it will be a low priority unless I get specific requests.

Current Bugs

--- First release (.9) is bugged. Please upgrade to a newer version to get better functionality ---
Bugs are listed by date and given a priority from 1 to 5 (5 being critical 1 being low).

• 09/11/08 - As Of Ver 0.98 - Priority: 3 - Back button and reloading can cause issues with the Wikipedia search sometimes, especially if Wikipedia is down.
• 09/28/08 - As Of Ver 0.99 - Priority: 1 - On occasion, the page must be reloaded for the configuration to load.

Please report any you find. Also, feature requests are gladly excepted.

General Information

This script should work for all versions of Firefox, though it has only been tested on Firefox 3. All current features can be toggled with the User Script commands (right click on the monkey in the bottom right corner(default) or under tools).

For those with slower connections:

The extra search features, such as the wikipedia, image, and video searches, will take a while for you to load, so turning these off may be in your best interest.

For those with 800x600 Screen Resolution:

While all features still work under 800x600 resolution, having the video or image searches on as well as re-enabling the sidebar ads can cause massive page distortion. To fix this, turn off the sidebar ads and it should look better.
