As more and more searches get added I am concerned about the clutter on my dqsd menu. When I am looking to remind myself what searched I have forgotten about I do not want through though ones I will never use. [Maybe memory should be a concern but since I got rid of the old machine a few years ago I have not looked into performance gains by disabling a bunch of the searches]

I know we can use the script generator
http://www.master-minds.net/cgi-bin/disablesearches.cgi
to disable scripts, and maybe that's enough but ideally would it not good to have something more fluid?

Ok, I'll start throwing out an idea....everything is built on the fly from xml files so it might be hard to get something more ingrained. A bunch of searches will not be used unless someone is interested in accessing information for the USA, Australia, UK, etc. How about having a country tag in the xml files if they are not generic? I know this would mean touching a bunch of the xml files before the next release., but I think it might improve dqsd.

If you decided not to see the uk searches I do not know how this would disable the relevant xml files, the only way of doing that seem to be changing the extension (with the script generator). Could be entries in localprefs.js to specify what country searches to see? That's not going to stop them loading though is it....

...maybe it would be just a matter of adding this country option to the script generator page?

Or maybe it's just a matter of going though the xml files before the next release and cleaning the categories up. If the search is country specific, then add the country as the primary category...

Any thoughts?

Cheers, Tom.
