You know, I feel the exact opposite way. I think search.htm is already
overloaded with functionality, and that stuff like this should be separately
installable. A 31 KB .htm file consisting of mostly javascript is not my
idea of maintainable software. As far as I'm concerned, the basic
functionality of Dave's Quick Search Deskbar is all in its name; a *quick*
*search* *deskbar*. That's really all I need.

The fact that it can do lots of other stuff for me is mostly cool, but I
rarely use any of the features, so I'd rather have that I could install them
when/if I need them.

But this is getting to be a tired argument :) My vote is for an add-on.

Yup, that seems to be the case. I can't believe that the web view *still*
hasn't caught the changes I made to dqsdweb three weeks ago, but according
to the SourceForge status page (dqsd: sf /status) they are continuously
having problems with the CVS machinery, so I guess it'll be sorted out
eventually.

Anyway, no need to re-commit, the stuff is in there, it just hasn't made it
to the web yet.

Cheers,
Kim
