Re: [DQSD-Users] Addons
You're right. I wrote the googlespell add-on a long time ago, and it was simply a 'search' that required more than a single .xml. Needless to say, I don't use googlespell anymore. :/ > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:dqsd-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kim Gräsman > Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 5:46 AM > To: DQSD users mailing list > Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] Addons > > Hi guys, > > I wonder if addons are simply searches that require additional files, > beyond the .xml spec?

An awful lot of the 'searches' I use with dqsd are not searches at all but website logins.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Addons
I think that's probably pretty close to being accurate. In fact, I bet I could rewrite iptools as a "search" to keep in line with DQSD convention. iptools doesn't use anything special, really. When I made it I didn't know any better *shrug*, but I think the terminology is a little confusing. iptools isn't a "search", really, it's an "add-on" to a product that allows you to search websites. Pedantic, I know, but that's what confused me at first and why I headed down the path of an add-on. :) Maybe the docs could be changed a little to describe the differences a bit better? I'd be happy to write a tutorial on how to write a "search", and then extend it to show how you do not, in fact, need to "search" anything with a "search" "add-on" ;) -Steve.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Addons
Hi guys, I wonder if addons are simply searches that require additional files, beyond the .xml spec? It seems so, looking at the existing ones. Other than that, I don't see how being an addon would allow greater reach than a search, except perhaps by convention. I think that's it, anyway: an addon is a search with additional "stuff", be it COM components (timesync), a group of related searches (genealogy), web service wrappers (googlespell), that won't fit in a single xml file. Thanks for the usage statistics :) - Kim On Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 20:49, Steve Babineau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Kim. > > I'm not well-versed yet in DSDQ, but as far as I'm aware, "addons" > allow you to get to areas on your system that searches do not.
