Description:

Advanced Search Toolbar for Konqueror as Drop-in replacement for the Searchbar included with KDE SVN.
But it treats GOOGLE as special!


Features:-
----------------------------

1. Almost all type of google searches
2. Google services like translation;
3. Finding of words in page by clicking buttons
4. Navigation through search pages(next,previous,start) for google
5. Fun....Execute any javascript on current window.
6.Even when you don't search through Google toolbar, by some other method (gg: ), it automatically takes the search words, so that find words can be created, right now only for google
7. Google suggest auto-complete
8.Auto-hide Toolbar, so that space can be saved!

I installed the googlebar and it is great. However, I would like to remove it, and don't know how.

How do I remove it?

awesomacular!

just one complaint though. none of the search engines were enabled by default, and i had to play around with a number of controls to get the settings dialog.

why not enable some search engines by default? also, the settings button can be enabled by default in the toolbar.

Thanks for the great work.

Would you please indicate the font setting in the screenshots. It looks smooth and antialiased. Did you do any other special setting ?

Thanks a lot.

Screenshots updated.
Actually, I tried to make The text look as good as Picture, otherwise, it would have not looked nice.
Initially I tried simple shadowing.
That didn't look much better, which you saw in screenshot.
Suddenly I remembered the "This month in SVN site"
http://www.hoult.org/~canllaith/articles.html

It has extremely nice shadow effect, and then I tried to found, how?
I found through that page-source that CSS2 has a "text-shadow" property, which defines "blur" attribute. Certainly KHTML is rendering that property.
I found the code from lxr.kde.org and it was a function paintshadow(). Just lifted the code, and it worked nicely after some adjustment!!
I have hard-coded the blur and shadow offsets, as I didn't find it useful to provide it configurable.
Also, the colors of texts are got from the favicon displayed. May be one day I will make text multicolored, taken from favicon!!

I've never uses a Google Toolbar before (I run Mozilla at work on WinXP, and Konqueror at home), and I must say, this is everything I was told a Google Toolbar could be! Excellent work!

HOWEVER, you really need a better autoconf setup (it didn't even notice that I hadn't installed the kde- and konq-devel packages on my system!), an actual set of web pages (not just a SourceForge project), and some better documentation. (Most of the doc files in the .tar.gz were 0 bytes!)

I'd love to help, just drop me a note! ;)

Whenever I open up a new tab or window the search box and the search button jumps up and places themselves on the location bar before the "go"-button... Extremely annoying.

Why is it a OS Violation ?

please add the pagerank in Konqueror too.

This is seriously cool and should come as a standard plugin in konqi. I like it a lot.
Keep up the good work.

Umlauts like ÄÖÜ äöü and ß are not displayed correctly in the drop down list.
I use SuSE 9.2 don't know if this issue depends on the distribution.

hey, maybe you can integrate some of these features by in konqueror itself? eg not as a seperate toolbar, so it can be put into the main toolbar if someone wants to? and get it into KDE 3.5 :D
