This script works well as an alternative search engine that does not force autocomplete. However, it has a bad side effect. It also blocks my weather app (NOAA) on my iGoogle homepage - forcing me to turn it off every time I want to check the weather.

JRM4, Thanks for the report.

What is the exact URL in your browser when the problem occures? http://www.google.com/ig doesn't trigger NoCrap... Maybe you're accessing iGoogle from another url?

I added http://www.google.com/ig to the included sites so that the Google search bar would be replaced with your search tool. Otherwise, I still had to deal with Google's autocomplete.

I won't change NoCrap now to make it work with iGoogle, maybe later. But you can try commenting this line :

myJquery("iframe").addClass("iframeAjusted");

I had to disable the iframes on the Google pages because otherwise a focus problem occured. Try it without disabling them, who knows, maybe it will work for you.

Good luck!

Thank you for looking into this. However, Google just announced that they will be shutting down iGoogle in 16 months. So, it doesn't make sense for you to work on this problem. As a result of their decision, I will be discontinuing my use of iGoogle immediately.
