RE: [DQSD-Users] multi aliases problem solved
Hi Jean-Marie, this one did the trick. Shawn, I already got that little secret uncovered. Where did you get that information about the syntax for that multi ? Trial and error or is there a place to look in ? It's in the help for the search (?multi), though it should probably have a full page devoted to it: '// multi MultiSearch Perform multiple searches with a single command line expression. superMultiModeEnabled can be set to true in localprefs.js to enable super multi mode which allows different sets of searches to be done (ie: multi search1 /firstParam; search2 search3 /secondParam) superMultiModeSepChar can be set to a character in localprefs.js to determine the split character for the super multi mode the default value is ; Usage: multi search1 [search2 [...]] term Example: multi av gg wood planes - Display the search results for wood planes on altavista and google. multi fm;sf hs /new - Display the new projects and files on freshmeat, sourceforge, and hotscripts provided superMultiModeEnabled is set to true in localprefs.js. '// With over 300 searches you can easily expect to spend a year learning each search, and making your own. I've committed over a dozen searches I've made to DQSD and my own 'localsearches' folder currently has 15 searches in it - most of them are for different sites I work on, and I have a 'tester' search specifically for helping to create new searches. I think we ought to do a 'search a day' type thing where the fine points of specific searches are detailed so people know what's available to them. Is anyone interested in that? I'd cover the searches I use myself first, of course. ;) Regards, Shawn K.

RE: [DQSD-Users] Can I have Merriam Webster be the default dict?
Hi Kerry, Is there a way to have Merriam Webster be the default dictionary - it has free pronunciation. You can control DQSD just about any way you could want. To override any existing search with another you just create an alias that overwrites the existing mapping. Add this to localaliases.txt, on it's own line: dic|mwd %s This will change the behavior of dic to search the Merriam Webster instead. HOWEVER, you can also shorten that a bit by using the default shorter search alias for MW of :. Try this in DQSD (note the preceeding colon): :whatever Regards, Shawn K.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Re: notesbydave.com down?
wow I dont think I have ever even looked at this htm file.. I have no idea if the "alternate" instructions still apply .. but are the instructions from the webpage correct? Download and run dqsd.exe as usual. Right-click on your Windows Explorer taskbar and select Toolbars Add New Toolbar... When it prompts you for a folder, type in the following URL: http://notesbydave.com/toolbar/install.htm (be sure not to copy in any spaces at the beginning or the end) The Quick Search bar should appear. shouldn't the URL in step 3 be "file://c:\Program Files\Quick Search Deskbar\search.htm" ??

RE: [DQSD-Users] Re: notesbydave.com down?
Hi Monty, I tried pointing directly at search.htm using a file:// URL, but that didn't work. It requires a http:// URL, for some reason. I think this is all supported by the fact that the current DQSD host is part of IE or the shell. - K -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Monty Scroggins Sent: den 6 januari 2005 18:32 To: dqsd-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] Re: notesbydave.com down? wow I dont think I have ever even looked at this htm file..

Re: [DQSD-Users] Can I have Merriam Webster be the default dict?
Thanks Shawn, : wordtobedefined worked great, however, even though the MW site came up with the word defined I also got a desktop message DQSD failed to parse on-line version information. Error message: The download of the specific resource has failed. And, now when I single, dbl, or right click on the the tool tray expands and I can't get the DQSD menu but I can get the calendar by right clicking in the search field . The day and date shows fine.

Brent, In order to save more keystrokes I modified the tinyurl search to paste the tinyurl for the specified long url in the DQSD text box. You're a star! I love it.

Hi Kerry, ...it's behaving differently than before when I had XP Home and before ServicePack 2... When you get the taskbar sized and shaped exactly the way you want it (the quick launch toolbar, DQSD and the 'rest' of it) you can right click over the taskbar and check 'lock taskbar/toolbars' (or something like that) to prevent them from resizing on you.
