Does it search in Yahoo and give results using the same google page?
Wow, that seems interesting :)


Offtopic: I've added you to my friendlist, but I'm writing in russian primarily. Sorry for that :) Promise to comment in english :0)

Doesn’t give the results in the same page; however, saves a few clicks. :-)

I wish I could understand a few more non-programming languages.

Ha ha ha. Nifty!

sorry for earlier - works fine :)

works great! you should add "http://www.google.com/search*" to the list of @includes.

Um, shouldn’t http://www.google.com/* take care of that?

I'm not seeing that on the list:

// @include http://google.co.in/*
// @include http://www.google.co.in/*
// @include http://google.tld/*
// @include http://www.google.tld/*

but I did see (after making my post) that version 0.3.4 is supposed to see .tld as (.com|.co.uk|...). I only had v0.3.3 installed.

I don't think you need to wrap the script in an anonymous function from now on. It's done automatically for you

Backward “compatibility”. :-|

Yahoo! Search has been getting better. I too use it occasionaly.

Dude you're on Jeremy Zawodny's blog.

http://diveintomark.org/projects/butler/ is what put halt to my development of a similar script

Noticed it on Jeremy’s blog. Heh, I’m such a dope!

Heh, looks like even Jeremy did not know about Butler!!

BTW - anyone aspiring to write GM scripts take a look at http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/ and those who do not want GM ruining their pages look at http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2005/03/ungreased/

And vice versa? (just in case)

Nice. Completes the set!

GreaseMonkey throws up an interesting issue: What if there are GM scripts that phish for information, and a user unwittingly installs an extension that acts as a phishing script? Should browsers start supporting a CRC/MD5 check logo (like the ssl lock icon) to certify that the client and server-side copies of a page are the same and unaltered? Just curious....

I’m wondering if maybe we could hack a Greasemonkey script to do that: we could check for the rendered DOM (or content) against the original.

One thing that website owners can do is to disable gm userscripts, but that’s kinda undemocratic. Supporting an (optional) check or something sounds nice, considering that it does not have to be Mozilla- (or Opera-) specific.

This thing about gm and phishing is interesting; if you find more literature, please pass it on. :-)

It _forces_ me to view results from both.

Bruce has a nice paper on phishing on his blog.

I posted your comment to the Greasemonkey mailing list. You might want to take a look at the thread. One of the interesting things that was mentioned was about Userscipt.org (not live yet) — which aims to be a repository of registered, reviewed userscripts.

Why not just use http://www.customizegoogle.com/ ?

Because I didn’t know about it.

Moreover, I wanted what I wanted.

bet your not smart enough to hack my computer :-)

Eh?

PS: I love anonymous folks.

Google and Yahoo are back together again, but not by their own design. Premshree Pillai, a 22-year-old self-described hacker from India, has written a script to insert a Yahoo tab on the Google home page with the use of dynamic HTML. That way, he can easily click to Yahoo search results (without retyping the query) when Google's listings fall short. Clever, but it won't bring smiles in the corporate camps of Yahoo and Google.

Enjoy!

Holy shit! Mark must be pretty pissed at me. ;-)

Congrats. Great script.

Hi Premshree,

Are the cease and desist e-mails from Google pouring in yet?

However, after being inspired by your script and being introduced to GreaseMonkey *just* tonight, I have hacked together a Google! on Yahoo script @ http://sarat.xcelens.co.uk/2005/05/18/google-search-link-on-yahoo/

Now only if I could build on that to allow Google and Yahoo results side by side in the same page. I have some few ideas and wondered if you were interested in a joint effort?

E-mail me at (sarat [dot] pediredla [at] xcelens [dot] co [dot] uk) if you think its worth a shot

There’s already one: http://yagoohoogle.com/. Yeah, but doesn’t use cool stuff. :-)

Like you said twingine.com or yagoohoogle.com does this but it is
not pretty or even really useful. I could tile 2 firefox windows horizontally
and get the same effect. I wanted to produce a better dynamic version of search and am working on it.

Will post a link when I finish it.

This'll work on Opera if you take away the .tld thing and add .com or whatever your local google is :)

But I figured, "why not do away with Yahoo Search on my.yahoo.com altogether?". I needed an excuse to experiment with GM and this was it. Thanks for the inspiration.

http://www.GrabAll.com does the job for you. Good luck!

almost the same does http://www.dogpile.com/
...but with nicer GUI...

peace!
