To make it better, for those who just go to google.com, install:
Go2Google2
Go2Google1

It's not really a bug, but:

In the sidebar, can you change the following text please:

'Search ... in <yahoo>'

For correct English grammar, 'in' should be 'on' or 'with':

'Search ... with <yahoo>'

Also it would be nicer to remove the '<' and '>' characters, because it looks odd.

Thank you!</yahoo></yahoo>

Hi, not sure if this is a bug or not, but I cannot get the script to load unless I press the "I'm feeling Lucky" button with the search box blank.

If I enter a search term (say "Windows 7") and click the "Search" button the url is typically :-

http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&sourc... &btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=0&oq=windows&fp=408428c3d949fea1

not http://www.google.*/search?* which the script is expecting.

I've tried playing about the urls the script will work, but I guess I aint up to the job.

Any help appreciated.

I've tried several times on several computers and the search result page's urls are always www.google.co.uk/search?... I don't know why that happens to you, It's only when I directly click "search" button with nothing the "webhp?hl=en.." will show up in the url(webhp means web homepage?)

Just now I look into the Google MonkeyR's include paths, the "webhp" is also there. I think I should add it to include path too

I will update the script in minutes, try to uninstall it and reinstall the new release

I don't know what's wrong, but it's not the included pages that's messing up. On my computer (Macbook), I'm using Firefox, and I go to Google and type in the search, but the normal Google search shows up. But if I click on the Images link then click back on the Web link, the Google++ shows up. Dunno what's wrong with it. But at the end of the original URL, there's a bunch of numbers, and after going to the Images link and coming back, the numbers are gone, like a simplified version of the URL. Any idea?

@Ben Alter:

Can you paste the search URL that g++ didn't work?

http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&source=...
That one doesn't work, but this one does:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&fk...
PS: I've tried the script on both my mac and PC computers, and I'm getting the same problem on both. So I guess that rules out the operating system factor.

@Ben Alter:
This release has already solve this problem, please try to uninstall g++ completely then reinstall it.

Just tried that. It's still not working for me.

Check the "include pages" in the "Manage User scripts", what is in there?

Normally it should be

http://www.google.tld/search?*
http://www.google.tld/webhp?*
It seems you don't have the last one

I just tried your script and found some bugs ==> http://yfrog.com/b6googleobamagooglesearchp

As you can see in the above screenshot:
1. There's some layout issues. I'm using a 1280x1024 lcd monitor. FYI with a zoom factor of 95% page layout is fine.
2. Search top bar is not fixed; is this correct? Reading the script features I understand that the top bar should remain fixed on top (always visible) while search results should scroll normally.

I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 on Windows XP SP3 and latest version of Greasemonkey.

I have both of those links in the "included pages" section of it.

  1. I will try to fix the layout issue, thanks for reporting this bug.
  2. You should set it on in the google++ options(in the "style" tab). this feature is turned off by default

It is strange that the "http://www.google.tld/webhp?*" rule doesn't work when the url is like "http://www.google.com/webhp?...", maybe it's a greasemonkey bug, isn't it? Does somebody know this problem?

As you can't still get it work, this is a way you can try to fix it: add a new rule in the include pages like "http://www.google.com/webhp*"

It is also strange that when I use your search result url (the "/webhp?.." one), google automaticly redirect to the url of the "/search?.." one, so I don't know how to test it in my computers.

OK! Setting the preference in "style" tab do work.

However, I'm still founding bugs when switching from google.com to google.it.

1 - By default the Google++ Options menu do not appear on Google Italia homepage. As a workaround I've added the following two entries via the "Include" menu: http://www.google.tld/ig?* and http://www.google.tld/

2 - I performed a query using "puglia" as keyword and I obtained the following query string:
http://www.google.it/#hl=it&source=hp&q=puglia&btnG=Cerca+con+Google&meta=&aq=f&oq=puglia&fp=f6eb0bad9ce2c14b
As a result 2a) the Google++ Options menu disappeared and 2b)Sponsored Links appeared.

Nope, it's still not working. I just tried searching and the rest of the url started with neither /webhp? or /search?, it just went to starting with /#. Here's the link (I used the search query "test"): http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=test&a...

@RNik & Ben Alter

Oh, according to the url you post, the include page url should be "http://www.google.tld/#*", this should fix the problem and i will add this rule in the next release, and also the "http://www.google.tld/ig?*" one

@Ben Alter

I will fix the first bug in the next release

This script doesn't work when I reach Google by the Google toolbar in Firefox. Can you please help?

After I released the new version I suddenly realized I had forgot the layout issue you mentioned, so I am sorry but I will fixed it in the next release as soon as possible

Beautiful looking script, however it fails with "Latest results" aka twitter's integration with google.

Example:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=p...=

Compare that with normal google, see how it takes the twitter data and turns it into individual search results.

Thank you for the bug, I'll fix it in days

Hi there, I got exactly the same problem as Ben halter. It doesn't work when I'm on a URL with the # (when you type your request from google.com), like http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=toto&a... it works with other URls, such as when I use the google toolbar.

(using version 1.6.2)
