Google Reader Custom Search (2)

Search your Google Reader feeds using Google's Custom Search inside Google Reader

*** This script is now useless, Google Reader has included its own search ***

Works just like the userscript from Google Operating System only the results are displayed inside Google Reader like normal posts. This script includes one button to search the current feed with blogsearch and another button to search all of your feeds using a custom google search engine. See the above link and the original post for how to setup your custom search engine and get it working with this script.

Sep 4, 2007 hkat User	Where on Google Reader are the search boxes supposed to appear?

Sep 3, 2007 JohnM Script's author	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.

Aug 28, 2007 ravi karande... User	Sorry! I couldn't install it. I have custom search. I have installed this script. But how to integrate ? Please help me.

Aug 24, 2007 JohnM Script's author	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...

Aug 22, 2007 diskostu User	When clicking "Search all" nothing happens. "Search feed" works fine, though. Any ideas?

Jul 18, 2007 monkeyhouse User	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.

May 23, 2007 bowlegs Scriptwright	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).

May 22, 2007 JohnM Script's author	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.

May 22, 2007 mandrill User	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?

May 18, 2007 JohnM Script's author	Jackson, the script should be fixed now. Sorry I didn't notice Google changed things up sooner.

May 10, 2007 Jackson User	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?

Apr 26, 2007 Karolis User	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!

Apr 10, 2007 Sean Bell User	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!

Feb 21, 2007 Stretch User	I'm not sure what this does even if after I added the extra included url. Neither search box gets results.

Jan 9, 2007 Narsil User	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.

Jan 8, 2007 Stephen Collins User	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?

Jan 4, 2007 Chris Lgd User	Thanks JohnM for taking the time to create this very useful script.

Jan 4, 2007 Chris Lgd User	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.
