I'm trying to integrate Desktop search into a web app running on a server.
I'd like to have the results of the desktop search either in JSON or XML by doing an ajax request and parsing the results. I found the HTTP/XML-Based Query API here (http://code.google.com/apis/ desktop/docs/queryapi.html#httpxml) which would work great - except due to browser security (IE or Firefox) I can't do a cross domain HTTP request and receive an XML file - only JSON would work. It seems that if Google would offer an option of "&format=json" instead of just "&format=xml" the Desktop API would be much more powerful. Is what I am attempting possible? Do I need to take a more complex route? I've begun looking into the Google Desktop registration process - this seems fairly complicated. Also - I am having the user provide the prefix to the Desktop search ("http://127.0.0.1:4664/search&s=1ftR7c_hVZKYvuYS-RWnFHk91Z0?q=";) and storing it - since I don't know how to get that from the registry using JavaScript. Is there any easier way? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Desktop Developer Group" group.
