replace:

result_link_xpath: "//*[(name() = 'DIV' and @class='g') or (name() = 'H3' and @class='sem')]/H2/A",

with:

result_link_xpath: "//*[(name() = 'LI' and @class='g') or (name() = 'H3' and @class='r')]/A",

Does anybody know of a way to make this work with Pagerization script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7623

Very nice script, I used to use better search but I'm switching to this.

I use GoogleMonkeR for the 'results in collums' and 'auto-load more results' functioalities but apprarently no google-search-thumbnailer supports auto-loading so I modified your script(one line actually) and added it to googlemonker. Now I have auto-reload + collunm results + thumbnails =).

Here's th emodified googlemonker: http://cluebin.appspot.com/pasted/442

I highly recommend using this script with my Google Mod:

Google i&Search Dark + Enhancements (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11888)

Thanks for the tip, Megatron. I updated the script, but instead of adding that URL to the exclude list I changed the script to explicitly not run the "hide right column" block for those pages. That way the other parts of the script, which are still useful on those pages, get to run as normal.

I don't read Fark these days, so I'd completely forgotten about this script. I've just posted an update that appears to work pretty well with the current Fark design. (Thanks, Teridon!)

If those of you who are regular Fark readers notice bugs, please post them here.

I'd completely forgotten about this script. I still had it installed, but it obviously wasn't doing much to my google results anymore. I made a couple of minor tweaks and it appears to be working pretty well again.

@schmancy47 I just bumped up my result limit to 30 to test your bug, and this latest version worked fine past result #10. Let me know if you still see a problem.

Great script. The one change I made, is with the latest digg update, I added http://digg.com/users/* to the excluded pages list. The right-side bar on those pages now contains people's friends, links, stats, etc.

Having made my own - including our own screenshot service - this one presents "rotated" images ( 45 degree shifted ).

For Fark 2.0, you need to change the link_container_xpath:

link_container_xpath: "//tr[@class='headlineRow']/td[position() = 1]/a",

and the link_category_xpath:

link_category_xpath = "//tr[@class='headlineRow']/descendant::img[translate...

Fantastic script. However, it doesn't seem to continue to generate thumbnails if the default number of results is higher than 10--after the first 10 results, the next results on the page have no thumbnail next to them.

I can't seem to get this to work. By the way, to make this an exact clone of Google Preview, they store the thumbnails in this format http://j.googlepreview.com/preview?s=http://www...

The j subdomain stands for the first letter in the URL domain (j = jimcarreyonline)

And obviously after the = is the base URL.

Ok, it looks like you just need to edit the script and change "location=" to "l=" (in fark_passthru_script_regex)

Is it just me, or did Fark change something? My links are now going back to go.fark.com...

Nice scirpt, I like it very much, however this script does not 100% competible with "google link preview"(http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/3784).

It would be good it both can work nicely together.

The problem is when both script are enabled. This script will generate thumbnails twice for each link on the page.

changing this: http://thumbnails.alexa.com/
