The only way it benefits is that the prefixes don't interfere with default google searches, i.e., if I accidently enter a prefix for search I never use when I'm actually searching for a string with that prefix. Definitely, this is up for question as to whether it's worth including. I would certainly like to give them the option of not loading the search at all. But, I stopped with this. I'd also like to see this as the first step in getting updated searches from a central server. > who > knows, in some rare occurrence you may need a search you have disabled. True. If a search is disabled, it's easy enough to enable it again. One of the things I neglected was removing disabled searches from the popup menu. But, the more I thought about it the more I thought this might be desirable (but definitely needing documentation)... searches entered at the command-line are disabled, but searches selected from the popup are not disabled. Maybe that's just weird. > 2. i am having trouble figuring out what disabling searches does > anyway. i go into the help window and uncheck a bunch of them, > then i close the help window. then i reload the toolbar !. then > i open the menu and the search is there. so i open the help > window and the searches i unchecked are re-checked. also i see > no new disabledsearches.txt (or whatever the name should be) in > my quick search directory. is there a save button i'm missing, > to save disabled searches? Simply closing the help window should save a list of disabled searches to a text file in the install directory. > 3. i haven't tried this snippet thing. i'm not sure how i am > supposed to use it and why.

I'm wrestling with the same thoughts. I'd like to see additions like this be totally self-contained in an XML file, so they could be made available as an add-on, for tech-savvy users (including the calendar code which I seldom use.) Unfortunately, this may mean that they popup menu can't be expanded (without some work by someone to make that available to an XML search somehow.) > i feel like a "nay-sayer". i am i missing something? Nope. Definitely good questions. I'd like to hear more thoughts and discussion. Also, I don't have any problem yanking the enable/disable search feature.
