MLL,
did you manually go and get the latest loader.js? i think it is
necessary. i believe glenn mentioned that in a message yesterday.
Oh, thanks
:)
Now this works !
One small drawback : my personal firewall tells me explorer.exe (*not*
iexplore.exe) tries to access the web (some google IP address on port 80). Quite
foreseeable actually, but is there any way to change this to iexplore.exe, which
is usually allowed to access port 80 ?

This first example has been cleaned up, and it
should be pretty easy to duplicate for other add-ons. Here's the
install kit...
Any more thoughts on whether this whole add-on thing makes
sense?
Glenn, I downloaded
& executed the exe, it installs finely in the right directory (how
does the NSIS fetch its name BTW ?), but even after a "!" reload, I get
nothing... "?googlespell" returns a "no matches" alert box, and "googlespell
albart einstein" takes me to google to search this whole
string.
Don't I have to update
some .js or .exe file, too ? For instance, I entered my Google API licence
key nowhere, but normally I should get a warning, shouldn't I
?
<update>
Added
googleLicenseKey='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx';
in localprefs.js, where
'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx' is of course my licence key. No
change
</update>

it does show up in menu. it may have
before... i just didn't look in 'Other' category.

Does it still not show up in the menu? The latest install
should put it in the 'Search the Web' category.
Nice!
thanks,
JB

Here's another install, that should
pop up a message if Google doesn't return any
searches.

It should show up in the
'Others' category now (just changed to 'Search the
Web'). Attached is an install for it. You might
want to check it out.

Right, that's the way I've set it
up now. The subdirectory and the XML file need to
have the same name also.
check that...
when adding addons the _XML_ file
goes in the subdirectory for the
addon.
dumb
spellchecker!
JB
to be clear...
when adding addons the mol file
goes in the addon subdirectory for the
addon??
...just storing this info up
for some FAQ.
thanks,
JB
To create an add-on
search/feature:
1. create a subdirectory with
the name of the add-on under the addons
subdirectory
2. create an .xml file with
the same name as the addon, with the same format
as the searches.
