Great work! Thanks!

Google must have revised their code, as it now works on google.de, too.

hi there, great stuff !!!
ive just got a little question, is one able to avoid using the cursor keys completely, e.g. i want to use h to turn to previous search results and l to next ones? just like in vim.. or aint that possible...

anyway, good work!

ctrl + k will be blocked.
I suggest add these lines in keyup event handler:


window.addEventListener("keydown",function(e) {
// patch begin.
if( e.shiftKey || e.altKey || e.ctrlKey ) {
return;
} // patch end.

// ...original code.....

The blue boxes and numbers show up on google.com, but not on google.de (only left/right arrow buttons work). I use FF3.1. The script is active on google.tld/search* and http://google.tld/search*. Anyone got an idea?

just thought maybe a Copy to clipboard key would be handy without right clicking.

Great, you rock! And Rudolf Noe too :). While I'm at it: is there a way to make this work on Google Scholar too?

 
N-Dream Script's Author

Updated the script.

Thanks to Rudolf Noe it works again :)

Cheers

It seems like it broke today :(. The numbers are only partially shown or not at all; arrow down and up doesn't work. Please fix my favorite script...

 
Ophir User

Fantastic work! Thank you.

It doesn't work well with GoogleMonkeyR. It won't scroll when you go down the results, and if you scroll manually and then press j/k, it jumps back to the top of the page.

If you change the condition on line 130 to '(e.keyCode==13 || e.keyCode == 79)', the letter 'o' will open the current selection as well -- just like in gmail.

 
Chris M User

Awesome script! Sometimes it takes a few tries to scroll down with the down-key, but other than that it works great.

This script does not work if "Search for text when I start typing" Firefox option is enabled.

I've found temporary fix for Yandex compatibility. It's pretty simple - change line 41 of original js script, it should be
if (allP[i].className=="title") {

So, it's only matter of className ;)))

 
Vladimir Buk... User

This is just awesome!!! Superb script! Is there an easy way to adapt it to other search engines? I personally want this script for Yandex.

 
dsjkvf Scriptwright

strange, (r) doesn't seem to work for me (Fx 1.5.0.8/Mac, can also try 2.0/Win tomorrow) -- just focuses search string exactly the way (e) does.

can anybody confirm it?

 
hkk User

Works for me in Firefox 2.0. You most likely will have to change the expression for the google pages this acts on though. Select the script using 'Manage User Scripts' and then change the entries under 'included pages'.
It would probably make sense to change the default to google.com.

 
attrap User

doesn't seem to work anymore.... ?

 
brease User

This script is awesome. The only thing is when I am stuck in the search box, I cannot use "Tab" to get myself out because the focus cannot be moved into the page. Could you solve this problem? Thanks.

Wow, this is useful! You could make the boxes look a little nicer, though, maybe rounded or something.
