Userscripts.org

-=The quick version:=-

Do your search, click images, click web, POOF, Google Search Sidebar works.

-=Long version.=-

I go to google.ca

I perform a search. Note the address bar contents after I click Search.

http://www.google.ca/#hl=en&safe=off&q=userscri...

Now I click Images (or anything else) on the upper left. URL changes to:

http://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&safe=off&q...

See the /images? now? I click on Web which is clickable now. The URL reads:

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=us...

Now we've got "/search?", and Google Search Sidebar performs as expected.

Enjoy!

I have the same problem. Also other Google scripts don't work because of the URL changing after running a search. Google is annoying ^^

For example, I ran a search for the word "table" from my FF search box, then the sidebar shows up. Running the same search from Google's homepage, makes the sidebar not work, because the URL changes to:

http://www.google.de/webhp?hl=de#hl=de&q=table&...

And clicking on Google's logo to go back to the start page, brings me to:

http://www.google.de/webhp?hl=de and not just google.de

Running another search then, brings this URL:
http://www.google.de/webhp?hl=de#hl=de&source=h...

and sidebar doesn't work :-(

But it works great when running all searches from FF's search box. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a hassle not being able to run the next search from the results page then. I hope developers find a way to handle those URLs.

Thanks for your work though, I appreciate it.

Found out that it will work with firefoxe's default homepage (google.com/firefox). I just recently started programming so maybe I'm completely off here, but it seems like there should be a way to make what's typed into google's homepage go through the google search bar on the side, like a filter or something that whatever you type into googles homepage is sent to the searchbar on the side without the user knowing and then the results are displayed.
