[DQSD-Users] Update to A9 for generic use

2004-04-20 Thread Gregory Krohne
By default, A9 does some tracking on you. There is a generic version of A9 that 
doesn't track (generic.a9.com). This update to the A9 search adds a switch for generic 
searches. Plus, it handles the query string better, due to the quirky way A9 handles 
the form submit event.



Regards,

Gregory Krohne

Re: [DQSD-Users] Update to A9 for generic use

2004-04-20 Thread Brent Beardsley
Hi Gregory,

Do you need to have 2 forms when all you're doing is a
simple get?  You could just call openSearchWindow with
either generic.a9.com/query or a9.com/query?

Just wondering,

Brent
