Hi,

maybe I only did not find a matching config setting, but I found it increasingly annoying to have to initialize, manually, a "find in page" after having searched the web and opened the first page found.

So I added the following lines to my ->macros ->search.kmm, right after the header, to

[1] open the FindBar
[2] insert the search term & find

(added lines formatted medium bold italics)

---

# Consult default engine (default engine is also used when macros are disabled)
Search{
macroinfo=_("Consult the default search engine");
id(ID_EDIT_FIND);
id(ID_EDIT_PASTE);
$_Search_EngineURL==""?$_ ...

Search_PasteAndSearch{
macroinfo=_("Search the Web for Clipboard contents");
id(ID_EDIT_FIND);
id(ID_EDIT_PASTE);
$URLBAR=getclipboard(); &Search;
id(ID_OPEN_LINK_IN_NEW_TA;
}

# Lock/unlock curr ...

This is on K-M 1.53. My config is set to opening almost anything in new background pages - if yours are not, the last added line may be too much.

Any feedback welcome.

Cheers

You can also use the Highlight function in the Search+ extension It won't work if your searches are set to open in the background though.

Hi, jsnj,

Thanks for that quick reply.
I did not want to install Search+, because I do not need and want more bars and buttons (no search bar here, it is all in the SearchButtons Context menu)

All I wanted was auto-pasting of search terms to the FindBar. That is what my tweak does, and it would harmonize with your new Find in Page Plus, as I explained there. And it works for backgrounded searches,too.

I don't understand quite well what your changes do, can you please explain a little bit more about your code?
Thanks.

You don't need to use the Search+ button or the default Search Button to get use its other features. It's features and options are integrated into the search function and can be toggled on or off from the Search Options submenu in Web Search once installed.

The Find in Page Plus is Matt's, not mine Your tweak works well with Paste & Search and in the background with Paste & Search if you don't mind the Findbar also popping up on the foreground page ..Doesn't quite work properly with searching from the URL bar, selected text or search prompt though.

Hi, jsns,

ooops...("The Find in Page Plus is Matt's, not mine") ...sorry, matt!

thanks a lot, jsns - you convinced me. I've installed search+, it does what I need, and it is EASILY configurable.

Have a nice weekend.
