I'm facing some problems with your script: depending on the search url the script doesn't trigger. For instance, for this search: http://www.google.es/#hl=es&safe=off&num=50&new... (google in spanish) the script doesn't work. Even in GM -> Script commands -> Configure Script the option shows as enabled but nothing happens when I click it. But this one http://www.google.es/search?hl=es&safe=off&neww... does work. I disabled the rest of the scripts but it's still not working. I guess it's related to the URL since the first url doesn't include any special word like "search" after the domain part. Can you take a look? BTW, great script! |

First off, thank you very much. I'm always glad to hear people like the script. Secondly, yes, you have stumbled upon one of the outstanding bugs for the script. I have it listed under the current bugs, but perhaps I should have posted here in the discussions about it. The bug is that Google has split their code into two different, very separate pages. The first, which does not trigger the script, it google.com/webhp, which is that page that trigger with the first link. The second page is google.com/search, which is the page that Google Bump is really built for. If you search from the firefox search toolbar, or from the firefox homepage, then you will be taken to google.com/search (or, in your case, probably google.es/search). However, if you navigate to the google homepage (google.com or .es) and search from there, you will be taken to webhp which does not trigger the script. Unfortunately, the two pages (webhp and search) are very different in the way that the code is laid out, so the script will not work as is in webhp. I'm working on getting it fixed, but it may take a while, because it may require a rewrite of the underlying method of how I find what I'm looking for on the page. I will keep everyone informed as I go along on my progress. In the meantime, to work around the issue, you can just use the firefox homepage (http://google.com/firefox) or the search bar to search with the script. |

Swaping to the firefox page did the trick (the search bar also worked). Thank you! |
