Fred,
I just saw another thread about this so I know I'm not alone in my request.
May I beg you to modify other builds to include Metasearch?
You have done this to some and those are my favorites.
So please consider it.
And thanks many times over.

we could tell you how to do this, if you'd like. i don't know if you're talking about metacrawler or metasearch, but i'm guessing metasearch (since that's what you typed). instructions.

MapsWorld

In macros:

Metasearch{
&OldSearch; $search = "Metasearch";
$eng = "http://metasearch.com/www2search.cgi?&l=20&s=o&p=";;
&SetSearch;
}


and within EngineSync:

EngineSync{

setcheck("macros(Metasearch)", getpref(STRING, $sen) == "Metasearch" ? true:false);

}

In menus, within Engines:

Engines{

macros(Metasearch)

}


That's all.... mhmm... and if you'd like to learn how to add any other search engines, go here: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?id=Search+Engines
or go to Tools>Web Search>Options>Add Engines...

Fred,
Seeing you're updating was looking forward to seeing you modifying
Guenters modifications especially with the Metasearch above.
Thanx for instructions here Brian but am not good with such.
Brian will there be a 1.7.11 update from you today? The type
you make that just updates an existing KM 0.9 of any variety?
Did the bugs get straightened out with the 1.7.10 update of yours?
I followed the thread as best I could but it got very long and
confusing to many novices like myself. I made every modification
mentioned yet all my 0.9's (except possibly the original and kninja) still perform illegal operations after 45 minutes to an hour. Interesting
that the original & Kninj both started with 1.7.5's. Probably means nothing
though. Anyway thanx for the updates.
Fred, is there any way to increase the number of search engines on Meatasearch?

What version do you use ?

Fred

Yes Fred, we too would love to see builds that have both Metasearch
and Guenter's famous theme with the picture of the village. Perhaps
it is a village of K-Meleons :-) ?

To add Metasearch to other versions :
Go to Tools-->Advanced Preferences-->menus
menus.cfg will open.
Search for

Engines{
macros(Google)

and change it to :

Engines{
macros(search_meta)
macros(Google)


Go to Tools-->Advanced Preferences-->macros
macros.cfg will open.
At the bottom, add :

$meta1="http://www.google.com/search?num=100&query=";;
$meta2="http://search.msn.ch/results.aspx?srch_type=0&FORM=QBHP&geovar=150&q=";;
$meta3="http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=";;
$meta4="http://yq.search.yahoo.com/search?context=";;
$meta5="http://web.ask.com/web?q=";;
$meta6="http://www.gigablast.com/search?q=";;

search_meta{
menu = "Metasearch";
$word = prompt("Enter search query:", "Metasearch");
$word == "" ? "" : opennew( $meta2 . $word);
pluginmsg(layers,"OpenURL",$meta3 . $word);
pluginmsg(layers,"OpenURL",$meta4 . $word);
pluginmsg(layers,"OpenURL",$meta5 . $word);
pluginmsg(layers,"OpenURL",$meta6 . $word);
pluginmsg(layers,"OpenURL",$meta1 . $word);
}

Close the browser first.
Then save menus.cfg and macros.cfg to their origin,
(as "all files", not as "text").
Restart, and Metasearch should appear, when you right click on
the search button.

If you want to add other engines to Metasearch,
tell me which ones you need.

Fred
