Hi Glenn, Thanks for the feedback. :)

I've seen a number of people in different forums, and here, mention that they wanted a *nix version of dqsd. Granted, I know nothing about developing for linux, but if creating a shell toolbar is possible using a typical installation then it shouldn't be too hard to port. > Some of the stuff the DLL provides... >From the list, my first thought is that none of these would be required from a webpage (parsing the xml files would still be necessary but that wouldn't necessarily be bound to the dll). I'm working on a webpage distribution, the hard part is converting the code in the base js files to their necessary location and to work with the server. Slowly but surely. ;) > There are also alot of IE5+ dependencies in the JScript > core.

This is one of the reasons I wanted to add a 'requirements' section to searches. It would not be required, but searches meeting certain requirements could be more readily assumed to work correctly on alternate platforms. Devs could peruse the code as submitted and add the values to searches after they were in cvs. Regards, Shawn K.
