Have upgraded from version 1.2 to version 1.3 but when I now apply a search from a clean Google.co.uk search box (bookmark) then nothing happens at all. Will work when I am already in GoogleMonkeyR but not when loading google.co.uk from a new tab bookmark.
I don't know if the script "Google Search - un-S-U-P-E-R-sized" is causing a conflict with version 1.3 but it means I now have to re-install version 1.2 again and suffer having to click back and forth between images and web to get GoogleMonkeyR to work.
I cannot work with the new larger text that Google has implemented so it means that script will have to stay.

Hello mungushume.
I thought I could see what the problem was.
If I open a new tab with http://www.google.co.uk and press enter then all is OK.
I had a new tab url set up to make version 1.2 work with the Google search box. It was
http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?hl=en&tab=iw
The search page looks exactly the same but it will not work with version 1.3
Further testing I find I still cannot get it to work even when starting with http://www.google.co.uk
Copy and paste or type in the search box will not respond at all.
I cannot understand it!
Later when I have time I will try switching off the SUPER size script to see if that solves it.
Refreshing the google search page seems to help.

Hello mungushume.

Here are my results .......

Please answer the following
1, are you logged into a google account?
NO
2, do you have the google toolbar installed (not the ff built in search, the addon)?
NO Google Toolbar Installed.
3, version of ff?
3.5.3

So the problem is you can't actually type into the search dialogue???
NO! I CAN TYPE IN THE SEARCH BOX. IT WILL NOT PRODUCE RESULTS.
Very odd
1, load the page which is causing the problem
2, right click the GreaseMonkey icon at the bottom right of your browser. Left click GoogleMonkeyR to remove the tick next to it.
3, repeat step 2 for all other scripts that are trying to run on that url.
4, Refresh the page and see if the problem still exists.
5, If it works ok. re-enable GoogleMonkeyR and try again.
6, post results

DISABLING the script “Google Search – un-S-U-P-E-R-sized” clears the problem with GoogleMonkeyR enabled.

DISABLING “GoogleMonkeyR” and leaving “Google Search – un-S-U-P-E-R-sized” enabled also clears the problem.

The problem seems to be some incompatibility between the scripts “GoogleMonkeyR” version 1.3 only and “Google Search – un-S-U-P-E-R-sized”.

Incidentally it is very odd that when I hit "search" after entering a search word nothing happens but pressing F5 to refresh the page actually produces results for that word in GoogleMonkeyR. (with all scripts enabled). It also very strange that hitting "I'm Feeling Lucky" does actually search.

STRANGE> Sometimes its all working OK after refreshing the screen and then its back as it was again. Seems to be very temperamental.

EDIT: I have had to put back version 1.2 because the new version caused Firefox to crash once. Also I did further tests and found that the super size script is not affecting the problem. If I disable all my other scripts and just leave Monkey enabled then 1.3 will cause clicking the Google 'search' to not respond. I do not have that problem in version 1.2 or before and I am also able to use 'SUPER' script to revert back to the proper size of search box.
I know that Monkey will not load in the first Google page of results but like I said I shall have to put up with that for now.

I have installed 1.3.1 but have to report that the same issue arises.
I always thought that my machine was reasonably powerful! It is certainly well above the average users specification.
Always seems to freeze when hitting the search button after entering a search word. There may be other factors involved but I do not know what they are.
Back to 1.2 again I am afraid for the timebeing.
I perhaps could try it with a very basic profile which I have set up. Later when I have time I will give this a try and report back.
Thank you for trying to sort it out.

EDIT: I have checked out a basic Firefox profile with just GoogleMonkeyR installed and it works fine.
There is some inconsistency when the Google Filter Color script is enabled so it is not conclusive that this is causing the issue.
I was unable to determine what add-ons or scripts may have been causing this issue.

THIS IS MY WORKAROUND: 1.3.0 or 1.3.1
I have done away with the Google home page and I now load Google using Tab Mix Plus in a new tab with this address ......
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=+&btnG=S...=
This simply loads Google to a page with just the "search" box which has a space in the search box but without the "I'm Feeling Lucky" box.
Typing a search word after the space loads that search as normal with GoogleMonkeyR loaded. It also has none of the freezing that occurs when loading http://www.google.co.uk
The only disadvantage of course is that you lose the drop down search options as you type the word in the search box.
This also allows me to have the script Google Filter Color enabled so that I can also change the page background color as well as the results background color.

EDIT 16-Oct-09

I have found that the above link with GoogleMonkeyR loaded causes Google Maps to freeze so if you are using this workaround it is necessary to directly open Maps with the following direct link and not use the button in the top left corner of the Google page .....
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps
