I would like to change my default search engine to the multisearch engines?

Possible?

Tks.

Every thing is possible in K-Meleon. But isn't easy that you want.
Multisearch is a macro and other search engines that can be default are URLs.
You need change the macro code in search.kmm file to modify the search macro functions.

Well, I guess all you need to do is make the Search button in your toolbars.cfg call macro "Search_Metasearch" instead of macro "Search". Same might be done for the keyboard accel Ctrl+G in search.kmm (at the very bottom).

kko,


Hmmm. Thanks, hadn't thought of that way to go. However, I guess that would really make it a permanent change. I think perhaps putting metasearch on a different hotkey might be the better way to go??

You can use for example;
CTRL M macros(Search_Metasearch)

desga2 & kko,

Another thought occurred to me. KM is great with its ability to use the URL bar for both addresses and searches (using the Ctrl G) key and for its ability to change the search engine as you need it from a drop down list that can change from your master list of search engines.

What about modifying the search engine bar to use the metasearch engines?

Tks.

This is I thought at first post that you want.

Desga2,

Really? Then I didn't understand how exactly to implement it. When I think about this whole search thing, the idea of having multisearch always available on a toolbar while at the same time having the regular search capability in the URL bar with any single engine seems like a powerful way to do searches.

P.S. OR perhaps instead of a toolbar for multi-search, an icon???? And of course a different hot key to keep it separate from the normal CTRL G.

Nothing easier than that.

Open Edit > Configuration > Accelerators and paste the following:

%ifplugin macros
CTRL M = macros(Search_Metasearch)
%endif

Open Edit > Configuration > Toolbars. Scroll down until you find the toolbar called "&Search Buttons". Add the following button to that toolbar:

%ifplugin macros
Multisearch{
macros(Search_Metasearch)
Type a word or phrase in the URL Bar, then click this button or press Ctrl+M to start a multisearch.
	Bitmap.bmp[0]
	Bitmap.bmp[1]
	Bitmap.bmp[2]
}
%endif

Just choose your own bitmap file(s).

kko,

Works great, but one out of two works for me. Got the CTRL M key and the drop down info in Tools, but no icon? (Wrong theme perhaps??? -- Early Blue)


P.S. Don't need that button at all. It seems that having the hotkey is more than enough for me and now I have two ways to search all the time. Sweet!
