[DQSD-Users] Google Desktop Search

2005-03-07 Thread Shawn K. Hall
Hello All,

Google has released the final version of Google Desktop Search. In
doing so the new version uses a non-numeric 'key' which appears to
be a form of compressed GUID. Anyway, what this amounts to is that
they've quite effectively broken the "ggd" search for people that
have already stored their keys in their localprefs.js file. You will
need to rescan the google desktop key and store it in prefs, then
reload DQSD to enable the release version of Google Desktop to work
correctly with the ggd search.

To do so you may use the 'Discover' script(s) located on my site:
  http://ReliableAnswers.com/x/dqsd/ggd-discover.asp

The first method rarely works due to security constraints. The
second method works as long as you allow scripts to run in the
browser. The third method will fail by default on XPSP2 (tighter
security imposed on execution of local files). The fourth method -
manually determining your key - will always work, but requires more
patience. :)

You may download the release version of Google Desktop Search here:

Can you link me to a sample comic so I can look at the javascript
and write a regex for it? I'm sure it's possible to parse the JS as
easily as the tables from most other comics. I've started using the
code I initially wrote for RSSX for just about all the screen
scraping functionality I need.

You can add a referer header to the xmlhttp request, after ".open",
before ".send". It'll look kinda like this:
  xmlhttpObj.setRequestHeader("referer","http://somepage";);


The other alternative, though this is only effective for normal
searches, is to use a named target window and send two requests to
it, the first as the page you need as referer, the second as the
ultimate target. This doesn't work with xmlhttp though. :(

For anyone wanting to try this functionality out (and it's been a
long-requested feature) please get the latest defer_tools.js from
CVS.

RE: [DQSD-Users] comx.xml into CVS

Well, I didn't check it into CVS after all, but you can always go back and
get a working version in CVS from here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/dqsd/dqsd/searches/comx.xml
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/dqsd/dqsd/searches/comx.xml?rev=1.25&v
iew=log

I'll see what I can do about reproducing and fixing the error before I check
anything in.

I'm still trying to get King Features comics (like Baby Blues) to work. They
use JavaScript and the document referrer to deliver the comic image after
the page loads. Anyone got any ideas how to make this work?
