New Search Bar in CaminoThursday April 10th, 2003The latest Camino nightly build includes a new search bar. Operating much like the equivalent feature in Phoenix, the new search bar allows users of the Mac OS X browser to search the Web using Google, Google Image Search or Google Site Search. It's also possible to add more search engines by editing a plist file — see bug 158246 comment 23 for details on how to do this. Update! A more detailed description of how to customise the available search engines is now online. Here's a more detailed article on how to customize the search engines that I wrote. http://comp.uark.edu/~pgauria/CaminoSearchCustomization.html Anyone know if it's possible to change this in Safari? I nkow Safari only supports one, but is it modifiable? for us, people without a Mac, can someone post some screenshots (at least one) <a href=http://comp.uark.edu/~pgauria/images/CaminoSearch.jpg" title="Shot of toolbar search field with search engine menu displayed">Shot of toolbar search field with search engine menu displayed</a>. <a href=http://comp.uark.edu/~pgauria/images/CaminoSearch.jpg" title="Shot of toolbar search field with search engine menu displayed">Shot of toolbar search field with search engine menu displayed</a>. I can't read.

It would make far more sense to use the standard format as used by all the other Mozilla browsers, and even used in the OS, wouldn't it? Especially as they're XPI installable rather than needing users to muck around editing plist files (you and I may think that adding %s to a URI and putting it in a file to modify this is acceptable, but the average user won't). |
