RE: [DQSD-Users] Some questions/suggestions
How about enhancing dqsd as a google-bar-bot? When the google bar is installed, instead of submitting a form to google, dqsd would input the search items into the google bar and let it do the search. Does it make sense? Is it doable? Will Dean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: At 09:25 30/09/2002 +0200, you wrote:>Hey, Monty skipped this point, while I think it's a very interesting one >!!

With the latest code (not in a release yet), you can add sub-categories by adding a field after the category: word|run winword|Microsoft Word|Start Microsoft Word|Office|subcategory1,subcategory1 Looking at the change log it's probably about time to build a release. - Original Message - From: "Sarah Sweeney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 9:18 AM Subject: RE: [DQSD-Users] Some questions/suggestions > Oops, I just realized that I had overlooked the in > localaliases, so of course what I had put in as the was being > used as the description.

> Hey, Monty skipped this point, while I think it's a very > interesting one !! Actually, It's one of the 3 reasons why I > still have the Google bar .. Yeah I skipped this one because there was some discussion on it a few weeks back.. I tried to raise a question whether highlighting search text would even apply to a large amount of "searches" withing DQSD. If you're searching for text withing a page like from google for example, it makes sense to highlight the text for easy recognition. But DQSD isnt doing that kind of thing. It is submitting parameters to specific websites for a specific outcome.. Some of the news searches could benefit from the text highlighting, but if I call the dictionary.com search (ie dic lexical), I will soon be looking at the results of the specific lookup. It doesn't do me any good to see the search string highlighted on the output page, which is already specific to the "search" I executed.

[DQSD-Users] Some questions/suggestions
Hello, everyone! I haven't had much to say recently, but I've come up with some ideas and questions in the meantime, so I guess I might as well mention them all at once. - I would really like to see the highlighting feature (like that available through the Google toolbar), which someone had suggested a while ago, implemented; I use this feature all the time when I do Google searches, and I think it would be great to have in DQSD; even if it were just some kind of switch in all searches (so that DQSD wouldn't have to be an IE toolbar); I'm not sure if it is even do-able, but if it is, I would really love this feature! - I think there should be a link to https://sourceforge.net/projects/dqsd in the help file somewhere, or at dqsd.net (unless there is already, and I just missed it). - Should the being set in the localaliases.txt file be used in building the menu, so that all of my local aliases aren't in the Shortcuts category? - Does disabling searches through the help file actually make any difference in the loading of DQSD on startup? - I have set the background colour of my deskbar to blue, to match the blue taskbar in XP, but it seems that this colour is being used in the calendar and the help file as well; I've tried changing some other settings in localsearch.css, but none of them seemed to work to change the calendar and help file back to their default colours; can someone please let me know what I should change in the CSS file to make the calendar and help file go back to their default background colours? - Also, I've included a search for webmonkey.com, in case anyone is interested. Sorry to include so much in one message - I have been saving up for a while!
