when i enter a serachh it goes to a page rather than show all
results, and i can't find any option to change it back, i just update
to the latest stable with firefox on win 2k, any suggestions?

Please check your Keyboard shortcuts in the Googlebar options
and
look if your default search is set to search "Lucky". Please add any
additional information you might have to bug 5898 (since
this seems to be the same problem). Also, make sure to report the
browser and googlebar versions you are using. Thanks
-
Googlebar is an excelent addon for the browser. There are
almost all functions that google makes available.
Its great and i love it.
I have one sugesstion to improve googlebar. Do you know that
google
can calculate? or convert units? like that: "25 miles in kilometer"s"
http://www.google.com/help/calculator.html
Why don't include in googlebar
-
Well, you can already do that just by enterin "25 miles in
kilometers" in the googlebar search box, that's the way it works...
What more do you want?
I could imagine a keyboard modifier (and button) to disable
the
calculator and go directly to the search results... maybe that will be
a nice thing.
-
In Googlebar 0.8.0.22 the setting "Add Googlebar related
options to
context menu" has no effect. I have this box unchecked but get a
Googlebar entry in the context menu. In version 0.7.07 this option
worked. I use Mozilla Firefox 0.8 with Windows XP.
-
Could you please file a bug for this? I think this is some
Firefox
problem for which we currently don't have a solution, but please file a
bug so it's not forgotten and somebody can work on it. Thanks

In the regular Google Toolbar, if you copy text into the
search
area, it removes the space (if any) at the end of the text. In this
version the space does not get removed. Is there any way to get this
back in? I know it sounds stupid, but it is actually really useful for
a lot of things I do.
-
Kind of similar to the above, if you search for "a dog" it
works
correctly, putting the entire term (a dog) into a search button, but if
you put in "dog ", with a space at the end, the real googlebar will
only find something that ends with "dog" or "dog" by itself, but not
"dogfish", etc. yours removes spaces inside quotes for the search
buttons (and probably highlighting) and will still find those words,
but leaves them in for the actual google search.
-
Auto-generated search word buttons: great! wonderful! Except
they
disappear as soon as you leave the search results page. So they're
useless.
-
-
During a discussion on Slashdot regarding Google, I had an
interesting idea: Have support for blacklisted sites on Google
searches. Basically, this set of sites would be appended to the end of
your search with a "-site:". Useful for weeding out Google-spammers.
-
Has there been any attempt to contact Google to request them
to add
an official link to this project on their Google Toolbar page
(http://toolbar.google.com/)? It would be a great boost for Mozilla and
the googlebar project if Google did this. It would be interesting to
get the official Google reaction in any case.
-
Just curious if the people wh ohave worked on this are aware
of another cool new (sadly IE only) toolbar, from www.viewpoint.com
Any thoughts about this being a project for the mozilla
developer community?
-
Please add an option to the preferences to select the number
of
search results displayed without having to set Google preferences with
a cookie every time cookies are cleared.
-
message "shouldn´t have gotten here, but kindly leave us
a note on
googlebar" comes since today when i hit the Google button. Applies to
version 8.022 and 9 either. Can you help?
-
Another user told me, a few days ago, that Googlebar can be
installed to the Firefox profile, and I replied that I'd never been
offered that option.
This morning, I found out why: Unlike every other extension
that I
have seen (perhaps twenty or so), Googlebar offers "all users" and
"single user", rather than "profile" and "program" [or whatever the
specific language is for the latter, which I don't recall as of this
writing, but it is NOT "all users."
Why not do as other extensions do, instead of using language
that is quite unclear as to where Googlebar will be installed?
It's bad enough that, so far, there is no standard about the
use of
"ok" and "cancel" as to where an extension will be installed; for
Googlebar to confuse this still further through the use of
idiosyncratic prompts simply obfuscates the issue of where to install
the extension.
-
Any plans to add 'distributed computing' to the Googlebar?
It's a
sympathetic feature of Google's toolbar.

-
ARE YOU GOING TO ADD Autofil and block pop-up
-
Considering Mozilla/FireFox can already autofill and block
pop-ups, that would be useless.
-
I've done the spanish translation. The xpi is here:
http://www.naiandei.net/googlebar0.8.0.19-es-ES.xpi
And a suggestion:
Could you put an option to search only in the country language?
For example, if you search with google.es, you have the option to
show only spanish results. In the URL string is just another value, in
the spanish case, meta=lr=lang_es.
-
Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!
I for one would love the ability to clear the search history
through
the privacy options, with possible integration in to the X (paranoia
button) extension.
-
John Liebson,
I'm looking at the install dialog, which says ...for ALL USERS, ...
If you want to install for a SINGLE USER click CANCEL. Since we were
pretty much the first extension to actually do profile installations,
it may by now seem incorrectly stated, as compared to "other
extensions". :)
When you picked the location, the first time around... you
should be
presented 2 ok/cancel confirmation dialogs. On subsequent installations
of the googlebar, you will only be shown one ok/cancel confirmation.
This is to avoid mixing versions... and other things. Once it is
installed, the question of where to install upgrades to... is
redundant. But on the first installation, you were asked.
Some people don't understand what a 'profile installation'
means.
But the ones who understand what a profile installation is, hopefully
would understand what 'single user' means. imho.
bigsurfer:
This happens when some settings aren't in your prefs.js file. If
you use about:config in the address bar, and make sure all the
"googlebar.*" keys have a value, and the most important one is
"googlebar.ActionNone" for just pressing the enter key. Or just try
setting these in the Keystroke preferences.
Fred from NYC:
After you set the pref, it should take effect after opening a new tab,
or window.
-
I'd like to see the option that will open your search in a new
window or new tab
-
In reply to [23]I have to disagree. Right now, for example, I
have
twenty-one extensions installed in Firefox, and I have installed quite
a few extensions over the past several months as I've needed to create
new profiles.
The ONLY time that I have ever seen "single user" and "all
users,"
rather than `profile' and `program', as far as I recall (which is
admittedly probably not very far, alas), is Googlebar. The convention
appears to me to be profile/program.
Despite all the extension installations I've done in
Firebird/Firefox/Thunderbird, I had not the slightest idea what "single
user" and "all users" meant--the language is nearly as obscure as that
which I am going to be teaching a wonderful group of ninth-grade
students about in a few days, Anglo-Norman!
That you were first does not now make it correct to use the
language
that you use. The "but we've always done it this way" excuse is naught
but that, a feeble attempt to not change something that needs to be
changed.
-
Googlebar works perfect EXCEPT for it's main functionality.
When
doing a normal google search, the page comes up blank. When doing any
other kind of search (images, news, etc.), the results pages come up
just fine. Perhaps the "link" is broken? For example, when I type:
http://labs.google.com/cgi-bin/keys?q=googlebar
into the address bar of mozilla and hit enter, I also get a
blank page. Strange. Any suggestions?
-
One of the very useful features of the IE Googlebar is the way
search terms can be highlighted in the search results and then in each
page as you view them.
In this version when I click on the highlighter in the bar it
highlights the term in the bar but not in the page. I have to click the
term succesively to 'find' the search term.
Apologies if this topic has been covered already. Advice would
be appreciated.
-
Reproducible bug:
1. With the Google-Toolbar execute a search.
2. If from the search results page a clicked link is opened in
a new
window then the Google Highlight Tools are not available in the new
window! (In MSIE tough this works).
-
I am not sure if this has been created yet.
When enabling and disabling extensions firefox needs
to be restarted, I wondered if something could be made to do this
automaticaly, such as ... select your extensions
then click ok ,or the like, and your done.
Thanks for your time.

When starting or opening a new Mozilla window all the buttons
to the
right of the search box disappear, and appear only if I click on Rest
button positions. I looked at all the options, and tried uninstalling
and reinstalling the two latest versions of Mozilla (1.6, 1.7 Beta)and
of Goooglebar (0.8, 0.9 exp.), to no avail. Does anybody know what to
do?
-
Using Googlebar version 0.8.0.21 in Firefox 0.8.
Whenever I enter something in the Googlebar search window and
press
the Enter key, the window clears itself. This does not occur if I go to
Options and select "Preserve the search history across browser
sessions."
However, I don't want to preserve the history across browser
sessions. This window did not clear itself in an earlier version
running in Mozilla 1.6.
Any thoughts on what I can do to keep the window from clearing
itself?
-
hello guys & girls, pritty damn good job with the toolbar
i'd
say! i work for a company who does SEO - i am using linux only, thus, i
was glad too see that firefox has got google toolbar, just to find out
that page rank is not there :) hehe, sucks big time ... anywayz people,
great job ...
all the best

hi!
i have just installed the toolbar, and i was wondering if my wish could
come true:
i mean, when i past a whole link into the textarea, and then press
enter, with IE i was get used that the site will directly open, without
entering www.google.com...
so is there solution for this little thingie?
thank you, and keep up this gr8 project!
-
With the Google Toolbar (from Google) When I select text in a
webpage and drag to the bar search field, the existing field contents
are replaced.
With the Googlebar, when I drag text to the search field, it is
inserted among the previous search contents.
The second way may have some application to build-up a complex
search, but I miss the quick "drag any word, anytime" to start a
search. Did I miss a setting?
by the way, good work on "Preserve the search history across
browser sessions."
-
Dear Googlebar Team:
Sorry for the bother :-(
You are all doing a great job! Keep up the great work.
Unfortunately, I have run into my first possible bug with the
little add-on.
I'm running version 0.8.0.22 - Mozilla v1.6 - Windows XP.
Whenever I conduct a search, the last site that I typed into
my url
address bar shows up in my google search page (example: I search for
the word television and this is what it searches for:
site:www.yahoo.com television or site:mozdev.googlebar.org television ).
Please help. I tried upgrading to the latest experimental
version, but the problem is still there.
-
Luke,
Please file a bug report so we know your browser, platform,
googlebar version etc... but maybe someone has patched that already in
the XPI-rimental.xpi
I did get a blank page when hand feeding the url into the location
bar, like yours, but I personally never use the google labs option...
but we can see about it in bugs.
Dinah,
Which version? Ie your browser, platform, googlebar version.
Please file a bug report.
Peter,
If when you get to the new window you just opened, and then select
the search box drop down with the history of your searches... then
reselect the search words you used in the previous window, you can then
select the highlight search terms button.
John F.,
Well that is usually called a "request for enhancement", rfe for
short. You would have to do that at the Firefox feedback pages. As for
the googlebar, you can always just hide it.
Either shift-f8, or ctrl-f8. Or the undocumented almost, ctrl-shift-k 3
way hotkey.
Y. Kagan,
Try creating a new Mozilla user profile (Tools->Switch Profile), for
our test purposes.
If you installed it for all users, you should still have a toolbar in
the new profile.
If yours was a single user installation, you will have to reinstall
the googlebar to the new test user profile. See if that clears things
up. If it does, (it usually does but who wants to use a test profile, I
know), then you probably have a corrupted profile somewhere somehow.
File a bug report and let us know how things went.
Bob Blum,
This may be a new bug, but for the meantime, you can clear the
history by using the leftmost dropdown menu, and manualy select 'clear
search history', and leave the preserve search history feature turned
on. The terms should at least stay in the search terms box. I have a
Firefox laying around somewhere, I will check it out later this
weekend. You can always reinstall an older version, I have grown fond
of 7.07, as it has 'enough' for me. It got a little feature rich
lately.
For instance, lately the search terms from one window keep poping
into the next window even if I have done a different search in that
window after the search was done in the former. So our inter-window
communication needs some work :) I'll have a look under the hood.
starachna,
Pagerank is explained on our pages here, the why and why nots. But,
you may have noticed Google is not advertising our toolbar, so when and
if they ever do that, now this is just a guess on my part, but then
would be time to consider implementing the Pagerank. imho. Glad to hear
about the Linux only part though. Me too. Free! Free at last... (Just
compiled from CVS the KDE 3.2.90, no Konstruct for this guy. Raw cvs.)
Glad you approve.
Lee,
It might not be right away, you should file a RFE 'in bugs' though.
mick,
No, there is not a setting to change the behavior of the drop text into
the search box. Yet.
I agree with you though, replace makes more sense than insert. If
you hold the ctrl key and click the green felt tip 'search for
selected' button, it replaces text instead of inserting.
Carlos,
If I understand you correctly, I think your enter key is setup to do a
site search.
Here are the settings from mine. (type about:config in the url bar
and scroll down to the ones that start with googlebar) Here you can set
them directly. Check these two out and see if setting them like this
fixes your toolbar.
user_pref("googlebar.ActionNone", "2");
user_pref("googlebar.LocationNone", "0");
Whew!
-
Dear John Woods:
Your instructions seem to have set my settings to search in
the same
window and use the I'm feeling Lucky search, but I went into the
Googlebar Preferences and set them to my personal settings and
everything works fine now. Thank you very much for taking the time to
help me. I appreciate it very much ;-)
You kick ass.
-
In answer to John Woods
I am using a PC with Windows Xp on a Network (Netware?), Netscape 7.0
and googlebar 0.8.0.14.
I'll file a bug.
-
Carlos,
The internet must have gotten pretty small... when all your searches
were limited to site searches. Glad you are past that now!
mick,
I want to make a small correction... it is the shift key that
modifies the green felt tip icon, to replace any text in the search
box, with whatever is highlighted in the browser view. This does not
seem to work with text from input fields(such as this box I'm typing in
now) but works with regular text on html pages etc.
-
Dear googlebar team,
how do I turn off the background image in the "Tools" menu? I
am
using Netscape 7.1 with googlebar 0.8.0.22 and I have changed the
websearch image (./content/skin/websearch.png) to the Google logo. Now
the menu item "Search" ("Tools">"Search") has this image repeating
in x-direction as a background. I'd like to turn this off, is there any
way to do that?
You guys did a very good job on the googlebar, it saves me
nerves and time every day! Keep up the good work.
-
Hi, I've noticed the yellow highlighter to locate your search

Tom,
I can confirm that. I have had it on one machine but never paid it
much mind... because I use the googlebar when I want to search. Hotkeys
for me. I renamed the websearch.png icon, and the problem went away. So
did our search icon! Maybe we can find some way to override Netscape
picking up our icon for the menuitem, through a css icon attribute. I
looked in the default.css file and I see someone tried using a
no-repeat attribute for the websearch.png but maybe a no-autorepeat
attribute exists. It is bothersome I grant you that, so if you want to
notified when the problem is fixed, create a new bug and you will be
kept abrest of the issue. If you don't file the bug, I will, but you
may not find out when the bugfix is in that way. Thanks for bringing it
up, as it does look bad.
Larry,
I'll drag that fox out and see if i can see what gives.
-
Larry,
It looks like some or one of your browser data files might be
corrupted.
I have firefox 0.8 running, albeit on linux, and the hilite
search
terms works just fine. I tried it using 3-word searches and it
plastered the page with hilites.
Ok, how to get your firefox to work properly:
1 Rename the C:>Program Files>Mozilla.org folder to
something else like 'Mozilla.org.save'
2 Depends on where your settings are kept, by Windows.
Generally it is either in:
C:>Windows>Application Data>Mozilla or
C:>Windows>profiles>your-logon-name>Application
Data>Mozilla
but find the one that fits determined by your Windows
environment.
Rename any folders called Phoenix, Firefox, or Mozilla, (if they are
there, but those that are do rename them ) in the 'Application Data'
folder to something like Firefox.bad Mozilla.bad etc.
Then re-install firefox and your externsions.
I would honestly suggest the one called Experimental. At this
pooint
in the game, anyways. Yes it *may* have new bugs, but it also has the
latest bugfixes. If you use firefox, this becomes even more important,
as firefox is under heavy development. We seldom apply bugfixes into
the stable releases. The Experimental release has at least been through
the CVS stage. The stable releases are what I would put on my
grandmother's machine. :)
Since firefox does not have all your email news etc, it is not
such
a big deal to remove and replace it. But the settings in the
Application Data folder can also be the cause of the trouble.
-
Thank you for the quick reply, John.
I filed a bug, #6257.
I don't really use that menu either, I just stumbled over this
by accident.
-
Just you like to tell you that the only thing that prevented
me from
installing mozilla was the "non google toolbar" compatibilty, what a
wonderful toolbar you coded. Now I can use mozilla with my favorite
search engine. Thanks !

Hi,
I would like to suggest that a Gmail button be added to the
Google
toolbar. I copied the Gmail logo and created a png which I am using on
Yz's dock, but it would be nice to have a button on the bar. Also how
about a Blogger button in addition to the right click.
Thanks you for creating the google bar for Firefox.

bug
#6257
I am working on the Customizing Googlebar Buttons how-to, that
Robert started... with 2 sets of the files. One with a button working
that you can add your javascript to, and of course, one without the
button functioning. It makes a good general test button for any new
ideas that you might want to use javascript to do.
-
0.9.0.04 in xpi-rimental.xpi
Also got a kit together so you can hack away at it.
http://googlebar.mozdev.org/customize.txt
Install the enabled one, try it out, maybe you want a custom tag
added to your searches, now you can add it painlessly. Well almost. :)
The -original.xpi is to put everything back 0.9.0.04.
I'll try and keep it updated to something close to experimental.
Now also you can set a preference for how 'Search for
Selected' text
works. Add To whatever is there, or Replace Everything with whatever
you have highlighted, even inside form input boxes. Well hopefully most
of them. If replace text is used, we do a Google search with no delay.
If you have a modem, you may want to make sure to set this setting to
checked(Add To.) That setting is in the keyboard shortcuts preference
panel.
-
One of the most useful features of the IE Google Bar (for me)
was
the ability to enter my search text then click the search or search
country icons. I can't find a way to enable a search country icon is
that because it's not there?
Thanks.
-
Kevin Weller,
I am not sure exactly what you mean... (Looks like I had better get a
copy of IE and a recent Google Toolbar)
If you want to restrict all your searches to a specific country,
where Google tries to return only results from that country, then you
can do that with this toolbar. If that is what you would like to do...
then go to our little 'g' on the left of the search words box and
select 'Googlebar Options'. Then select Google Site Options and country
settings... and select the country you would like to use.
If you would like to do something more like what Flextron asks
about in comment 21 above, well that is not
provided for yet, but an easy hack is this:
In the file googlebarOverlay.js, load it into an editor with *word
wrap=off*. Search the file for "if (sortByDate)" without the quotes. It
only occurs once in the file. Make a small change to the next line...
('sourceid=mozclient','sourceid=mozclient&scoring=d');
to
('sourceid=mozclient','sourceid=mozclient&scoring=d&meta=lr=lang_es');
(that is the meta tag Flextron asked for, but yours will be different
depending on your country...)
Then go into your preferences under the 'Google Site Options'
and put a checkmark in the checkbox for 'Sort by Date'.
-
hi, really great thing you made here!
But is it possible to use your googlebar also with opera(7.5)
? This would be far too great!
Hope this will soon be possible,
greatings, Simon
-
Since I am greatly impressed of your work I usually check if a
new XPI-rimental is available.
The only information about that file provided on the webpage
is the release date.
Maybe you could add
- the version number and
- a (link to a) history of what was changed
-
John Woods.
I think I've done what you suggest - set 'United Kingdon' as
my
international version of Google (is that what you meant?). I believe
that just uses google.co.uk instead of google.com but when I do a
search it still searches the entire web.
With google bar under IE I can click an icon to search the web
or click another icon to search sites based in the UK.
-
Hi
You have a great toolbar but I know that many people arent
switching to Mozilla because they dont get the Google toolbar with a
Pagerank meter.
I have got a script which can get the Pagerank of a site.
Check out
http://seo.nickstallman.net/ to see it. I would like to intergrate it
in with this project but I havent figured out how to do it myself yet.
Would it be possible for you guys to put it in? I can make the
script output a image or just the Pagerank of a site depending on which
one is easier.
-
Simon,
Opera does not have one of these? What is keeping them?
Thanks for the request... I will be sure to tell the whole
Googlebar Team, which they no doubt will be glad to hear. It may be a
googlebar first! But I seriously doubt whether we will be able to
develop one for Opera. (Would that be a kind of Browser treason?) If
Opera does not already have one, I think there are probably reasons for
that. You might ask them why they don't have one. Better idea... You
could just switch browsers, and let Opera know how you feel by
switching to Mozilla.org browsers (take your pick)
Ralf,
Yes, a policy change here at mozdev.org, disallows xpi files from
being visible using the WebCVS interface. $, you got it or you don't.
http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/googlebar/googlebar/googlebar/locale/en-US/googlebar/
The file googlebar.dtd will have some notes and the version
info, if
not added to the cvs notes when it was committed, then the file itself
contains the version number.
Our current version in XPI-rimental.xpi is 0.9.0.08. Here is
the log entry.
XPI-rimental.xpi 0.9.0.08
experimental Blogger button, what else should it do?
(it needs a new icon, using a copy of white mouse)
fixed Glossary, which led to touching up search terms
keyword removal stuff
Thanks...
Kevin Weller,
Ok... I installed the IE Google Toolbar and I don't get it. The search
only in a specific country button.
"click another icon to search sites based in the UK."
If you could describe what the button is called, I can find
some
more information about it. I did go to Google Language Tools and I was
offered a web page that offered to restrict my searches to a specific
language(English), and a country(US)... but not as a button on the IE
Google Toolbar.
So I did a search for googlebar with these settings...
language=English; country=US
If you follow the instructions I gave earlier, for the second
'easy hack' option, and use:
lr=lang_en&cr=countryUK&q=googlebar&hl=en
it should work for the UK. But let us know what this country button is
called...
Nick Stallman,
Is your pagerank fee based? I think people use MS browsers because
it comes with the machine, and is very aggressive about being the
default browser. imho. In any event, I think you could file an RFE
(request for enhancement) bug on the Googlebar. There all of us, ie the
googlebar team, can see what is involved without space considerations.
Attachments etc.

Kevin Weller,
lr=lang_en&cr=countryUK&q=googlebar&hl=en

since drew sugested "Considering Mozilla/FireFox can already
autofill and block pop-ups, that would be useless." How do set the
information in firefox. Or did mena for each site once fill-it in it is
there once you start entering if so I meant what some would say prefill
(meaning by entering all the info on what most ask name adress phone
etc....) AND YOU WOULD JUST HAVE TO PRESS BUTTON ALL INFO THAT FIREFOX
HAS WILL BE ENTERED
-
jonroth,
Here you can fill out some basic, and hopefully common form
elements, which can be used to teach the browser the information you
would like it to store. Alternatively, you can wait until you are
filling in a form, and tell it to save the form info. You can also
delete any info you have taught it before with the form manager.
http://www.mozilla.org/wallet/samples/wallet.html
-
PS. About those sample test forms, I would NOT use my real
credit
card numbers... on those test forms. You can change the actual numbers
stored, in the Form Manager, once they have been captured.
-
Re: auto form filler like IE's google toolbar.
John Woods refered to "form Manager". I don't see
anything under tools labeled "Form Manager". I have
enjoyed using FX, but REALLY miss IE/Google toolbar
auto form fill.

try... http://autoform.mozdev.org/
I have not tried this. It does not uninstall, and it may not have
an easy way to hide the toolbar yet. So with that in mind... I would
make a copy of the firefox directories first, the installation
directory and the user settings profile directory. Then install it and
test it for your uses. If it works, great. If not, restore your setup
to it's previous state.

I've come to request the same addition as Kevin Weller to find
he's
beaten me to it! The button is called 'Search Country' in IE. To get it
in IE you need to set the 'Search using' field in the options menu to
something other than google.com. Then select the 'More' tab and you get
the option to add the 'Search Country' button which then only shows
results of the search from sites originating from the country. I too
have found this very useful in IE. If you go to google.co.uk home page,
you can select a radio button to allow a search only from the UK but
having the button is a very useful shortcut.
Thanks for the work. Love Mozilla and this is great addition.

I have the same issue Matt submitted on Monday March 8th. I
can't
change the default search method from "I'm feeling lucky" to a regular
Google Search.

Lobo,
skipping on by the Opera :)
To resolve that, from an earlier post here #c36 type about:config
in the url bar and scroll down to the ones that start with googlebar)
Here you can set them directly. Check these two out and see if setting
them like this fixes your toolbar.
user_pref("googlebar.ActionNone", "0");
user_pref("googlebar.LocationNone", "0");
Or just use the Edit->preferences menu, to set them
Also you can try the Xpi-rimental.xpi which is around version 0.9.0.10.
Has the newest stuff and bugfixes.

Great to have Googlebar added to Firefox - don't know how I
lived without it!
But ... can I add to the "Search from Country" requests by
Kevin
Weller and Mark. I have found this button invaluable for sourcing local
supplies.
How do you just add and take away Googlebar buttons by the
way? For
instance how do I get rid of the I'm feeling lucky button - and then
replace it with the new "Search from Country" button that (hopefully)
exists?
Possibly related question. What is the "Unclesam" search? It
wouldn't by any chance be an American version of the "search by
country" option that we're after would it?
Thanks for all the work so far.

The "Unclesam" search doesn't seem to be the same as the

is
that the drop down combo of saved searches is only available is you
select "Preserve search history across browser sessions". I dont want
to save across sessions, but the combo to save searches just for the
current session & clear between sessions.

Update.... The previous question is especially relevant now
that
tonight's Firefox branch nightly is the first build to not include an
interface for managing the pre-0.9 (extension manager compliant)
extensions. While Googlebar was already installed before I upgraded to
the 0603 nightly and still seems to work, it appears that the steps are
being taken to prevent the "legacy" extensions from working at all or
at least from installing. My understanding is that the new packaging
format was designed so that an extension can work with the extension
manager builds AND the non-extension manager builds (including
Mozilla). Again, this might be a good time to look into this if you
haven't already. You'll have to do it soon anyway, so might as well be
testing it on the pre 0.9 builds. I'd be crippled if I didn't have a
working Googlebar extension. Thank you for your development efforts.

It would be great if the "highlight search terms" would
automatically turn off if you enter new search terms. Otherwise if you
accidentely dont turn it off and enter a string of search terms the
system hangs until each term has been highlighted one letter at a time.

First, thanks so much for this great extension. Not having a
google
bar was a show stopper for me. I could not have switched from "that
other browser" without it.
I realy quite heavily on the google highlight button in my
searches
to make searching quick. I have noticed in your googlebar that when I
perform a search, the search results page clears the search terms, thus
disabling the highlight button. If I copy my search terms first, then
perform the search, then past my search terms back in the search box
the highlight button works fine.
Is this a config issue on my part or is this a bug/feature of your
software. It would make things sipler if I didn't have to remember to
copy and then past my search words on each search to use the highlight
button.
Thanks again for your great firefox extension!

this seems to be a bug which occurs when you disable the "Preserve

As a workaround, enable the search history. I have opened bug 6462

A little help for those with a little difficulty:
1) There is one general rule when working with mozilla, if it
does
not work, rename the personal settings folder to something else and
start clean.
On XP... the default folder is
C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Mozilla
On 9.x windows
C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla
Linux
/home/your-login-name/.mozilla
rename this and start again.
2) When I installed the toolbar, and opened the preferences...
the
panel would not respond to the other tabs when clicked on. It was not
operable.
the fix:
I clicked cancel, then opened it again, and it worked as intended.
3) The other problem I had, was that on windows xp, the
operating
system made the file I downloaded to my desktop an .html file.
!!! XPI-firefox.xpi became XPI-firefox.xpi.htm
I had to open a MS Dos session to rename the thing. The file
manager 'explorer' whatever, wouldn't let me rename the extension. (My
xp is unused, so it is a standard configuration, with the security
patches.)
But a while later it 'knew' what an XPInstall file was. So
check
that, if when you try and install from your hard drive, and you get
characters on the screen instead of an installer dialog.
4) Anything else not covered here...
bug 6337
is as good a place as any to express yourself, seek solutions, about
the new installer for the new extension manager.
I posted a picture in that bug, of Googlebar installed in
Firefox 0.9 rc1.

To make matters worse, Firefox 0.9 rc1 should show up here as
Gecko/20040608 Firefox/0.8.0+ when you post. The plus sign on the end,
should indicate rc1, or a development version... but the XP version
does not have the plus sign here.
5) The other standing rule is to uninstall the browser, before
adding a new version of Mozilla. Download the installer first(lest you
be forced to run that 'other browser'), Add/Remove programs to remove
Firefox, run the installer. If you have rc1, in the "about Mozilla
Firefox"... it will say 0.8.0+

Hello & my compliments to the developers!
Is there any reason that the googlebar is so high? It appears about
twice as high as it needs to be. (I'm thinking about the IE googlebar
which is barely a pixel higher than the height of the text box. I value
my screen space :)
I'd personally like a slimmer shorter googlebar. None of the
buttons seem to be much higher than the text box - only the separators
use the full height of the bar. It seems like the extra height is not
needed...
Otherwise, the current version is working great on Firefox 0.9rc1!

Remember the most-recently-used universities on the university
search, and show these at the top of the university search menu
Maybe a 'search site' dropdown box, so that I can easily

'mathworld.wolfram.com' when browsing some other site? maybe this could
be integrated with the university search somehow?

Monica,
comment #c36 or the about.html#IE
Fernando,
Good idea, maybe soon... but the new firefox installer has the
focus right now. Along with some security bugs and patches that may
prevent things from working soon.
see mozilla bug
240552 at bugzilla.mozilla.org
morph,
the screen height of the toolbar is probably due to the new theme,
particularly the textbox... which has alot of padding directly above
and below. When I removed the vertical separators, by dragging
everything in front(to the left of) the leftmost separator, it
decreased a few pixels. I think when you compare the size of the urlbar
textbox, and the large space above and below that and then compare
ours... I think we can give it a little while to see if it gets
corrected, and if not we can address in in our .css. I'll be putting a
new one in tonight that has one small typo fix in the default.css file.
A typo on line 32: margin-right: 0x; should be 0px;
Then the images will show up on the combined buttonmenus
Special Searches, Somputer Searches, Page Info.

Would it be possible to add a button to the toolbar somewhere
that
adds the current page to the popup bypass list? Currently it is a
complete pain to do this by menus, but the real toolbar does popup
blocking as a feature, and allows bypass sites to be added in this way.
Since firefox does popup blocking internally, I'm hoping that an "add
this page to the bypass list" function would be simple to implement.

Paul,
We could probably do some, but have you tried out adblock? It is
another project here, and that even stops flash from loading. When it
works. But lately it has been broken. Mozilla bug (191839), not
mozdev.org
But once rue gets it working again, it should be enough.
Ollie,
Just put in a 'first' version. XPI-rimental.xpi 0.9.0.18. You can
set the country to search, or the language to use or even both, in the
'New Additions' preference panel. The 'default' item means none used.
So if you would like to use the country setting by itself... set
language to 'default'. They both use the 'My Country' button. As soon
as Bob Mulcahy our Artwork guy, puts together some icons, then expect
them to be put in. The ones in there now are way bad. I think some even
share an icon. :)
Also, there is a new button called My Local, that uses google
local.
I tried it with 'chinese take out', which I am probably going to have
tonight, and it was faster than a phone book. If you enter the wrong
info, when it asks for your local info, then a 'shift
middle-mousebutton' on My Local will bring that dialog back up, so you
can reset it. Really beta stuff as the icons show. Usual XPI-rimental
disclaimers apply.

In previous versions of the google bar I was able to clear the
search textbox (as well as the previous search terms) when I selected
"Clear Search History", but now when I do it in the latest version, it
just clears the search terms, but NOT the search textbox. I have to
clear that manually - which is an extra step.
Does anybody know if this is a permanent thing or if it can be
changed? Thanks in advance!!

We don't touch Windows registry. If any search history is saved, it
will be found in the prefs.js file for that user. The values to check
for are:

click to 'quick-prefill', (it tries to guess, mine hits once in a while

It never captures passwords. Button hiding for firefox needed. :)

A few issues:
Unless I set up the Googlebar to show the dropdown arrow,
search
words are not listed on the right after I perform a search (they
disappear). The *only* way I know of to get the dropdown arrow to
appear is to check "preserve search history across browser sessions."
But since I don't want search history preserved, I've set "maximum
search items in history" to 0. It's rather counter-intuitive but it
works - sort of anyway, since I really would like "maximum search items
in history" to be 5 but only for that browser session.
Clearing history doesn't clear the search box.
Anyway, many thanks for your good work.

A little history...
When the search history was put in, at the time, the thought that
some people wouldn't like them... well... it just wasn't too pressing
of an issue. (We were delighted to have them.)
Session histories require on shutdown processing.
At present we do no shutdown processing, cleanup etc...
What you say, about session histories... would be a good thing. Maybe
you could file a RFE bug. I'll get on the cc for it.

Googlebar is great. I've been using it for a few years now,
and it keeps getting better.
The one thing about it that I find terribly annoying is that
when I
click in the search field, it automatically selects all the search
terms. Most of the time, I just want to refine my search by changing
some of the terms, and I and up inadvertently wiping out what was there
and searching only the new terms. I find this even more annoying than
the same behavior in the url field, since one often wishes to select
the whole URL. Also, this was finally made "fixable" in Firefox, so now
it stands out like a sore thumb in Googlebar.
Part of the reason I tend to do it this way is that there was
a
time when making the changes in the field on the Google web page did
not update the Googlebar field.
Other than that, I can't think of any issues.
Is there a way to change this, or would that be an
enhancement/bug?

I have to agree with a previous poster that the googlebar
(which is
_great_ BTW) is way too large (high). The icons are much larger than
standard small icons, and the padding is way too big. I've got the web
developer toolbar installed as well, and those icons are standard small
size, and the button around them is MUCH smaller.
Is this fixable somehow? I love the features Googlebar brings,
but it's eating up way too much precious screen space as it is!

i'm noticing that if i enter a search term and then click the

searches afterwards, but it is not uncommon for it to "revert" back to
the "i'm feeling lucky" behavior.

Erik O.,
I agree personally, and maybe that will be next. What do they call
it on fx? There is no way to change that behavior at present. Since
firefox has made it an option to choose, that boosts the case to do so
for Googlebar. I ventured into mozilla bugs one day and saw huge long
bugs discussing a particular keystroke behavior this way or that. I
decided to stay away from those kind of 'issues' except for ensuring
the choice between a dead hotkey and one that at least toggles :)
Right now the best case is to hit ctrl-F12 (or shift F-12).
Usually
twice to unselect the text. (I regard this as backwards.) Hotkey Text
Selection Toggle must be checked in the preferences.
Rison Rodag,
Should be working as you've come to expect!
Ollie Cox,
Sorry to hear Google Local was not as global as the rest of Google.
That'll give me time to get it working using more of the features. For
example, once you get to the Google page, everything is sorted by name.
Distance should be the primary, then within each one maybe a name sort.
It has a useful tag &radius, I'll try to put to use in later
versions. You speak English, it'll be there soon wherever you are!
I'm glad you're happy with the My Country option, ie. it works. :)
I am curious to know which is more useful, My Country or
google.yourcountry?
MungoBBQ,
It is large on Linux, with really oversize buttons though they look
nice, but on all my windows flavors it is a 'normal' sized toolbar. Do
you have a different theme than the standard one? The Hide and SHow
hotkeys... ctrl-F8(and shift-F8) might help. As for whether our icons
are too large, we can do that because we also have a text input box,
and if we made our icons smaller... the textbox would still require the
same toolbar height.
I've noticed a big border above and below the textbox on newer firefox.
Maybe the switch from Qute has made it even larger?
jae,
This can happen when you upgrade from 0.7 versions, that had
different meanings for the same preference data. If you use the
preferences to set things up, they should stay that way. If you never
open the preferences panel to set the options... who knows. I've never
been afforded that luxury. :)
Lazlo Woodbine,
We used to be installed in a subdirectory, but now the Firefox
installation is in a jar file. File a bug and we'll see if we can get
it working.
(A custom version of Googlebar eh?) We'll get you running. File a bug.
Scott q,
If you ever get 2 toolbars, you have one in the program folder, and one

older mozilla. No good. Uninstall and delete the files when it asks, if
it asks. Re install the browser and it should find the one in your

It's one of those hidden settings. If you load up
about:config,
there is a boolean preference named "browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll"
which when set to false, makes it so that one click does not select the
whole url. (I discovered that if you hold shift and click at the very
end of the url, it then selects the whole url; giving you the power to
choose the behavior with one action.) I discovered this in Mozilla
after I had just switched over to Firefox, where it didn't work. I
still had the preference set, so when I upgraded to 0.9, it retained
that setting and took effect immediately. Naturally, this only applies
to the Firefox/Mozilla url bar, not to Googlebar.
I agree. Keystroke and other interface behavior preference can
be a
very personal thing, so it is always best to have a choice. I noticed
the F12 hotkey setting and can use that for now.
Again, Great Work! :)

I'm not sure what you mean by the "google.yourcountry" option,
unless that is the google site option. In which case, as far as I can
tell, you don't get the "Search My Country" ability unless you have
already chosen the "google.yourcountry" option.
That all sounds a bit contorted - I hope you understand it!

out to you when it lands.
Thomas,
At this point... it is lucky to be on the menu at all. :)
Ollie Cox,
My Country is independant of the International Site options. Each
setting has a different list, but if you've setup a different site to
use besides google.com it will use that.
Lazlo Woodbine,
Would the fact that the button is now called 'gbsearch' instead of
plain ole 'search' help you out? :)
See bug 6257
for why that change was made. Do you have some css that points to a
'search' button?

John,
The only changes I've made are to the PNG files providing the
graphics. I've just copied my new images over the current ones in the
jar file. The change of name of the button shouldn't make a difference,
should it? Most of the images do work when replaced but some don't, and
I can't understand why not!
Maybe if I sent you the jar file that would help you to debug
it?

The same bug as described on march 8th is still there -
"when i enter a serachh it goes to a page rather than show all

Hey Lazlo!
Your Welcome!
Best lookin Googlebar I ever did see too! :)
a few things...
XPI-firefox.xpi 0.9.0.20a is in.
The preferences should work without needing to open them twice.
a few Firefox only issues...
1 About the Googlebar being too tall -
try the Qute theme out.
2 Upgrading to the next version of Googlebar - Uninstall the
Googlebar... Then upgrade it.

Hi All,
as long as the Winstripe theme (new default on Firefox) is not
fixed, you might want to refer to
www.grack.com/news/FixingFirefoxWinstripeSpa.html

is back to the old size...

Is it
possible to make it about the width of the Bookmarks Toolbar?

Phillip Bryant,
Since the googlebar has a text input box, there are limits as
to how
short it can get. The text box would look bad without some kind of
padding above and below the box. An overview of the mechanics involved
would probably be something like this...
Height of the tallest character *in the font used* + some
pixels padding above and below = vertical size of the white area.
Then that box needs padding above and below to give some kind of
separation.
So... a toolbar with a text box is not going to be able to use
the
same height as a toolbar without one, such as the bookmarks toolbar.
BTW: On seamonkey none of this is an issue. My Googlebar is
very lean. :)

I've been having a problem with the Googlebar for about 4-6
weeks.
If I enter terms in the query area, then the resulting search produces
a Mozilla page that loads very slowly, then ends in a blank page with
"done" showing in the lower left part of the screen. A url of the form
will show in the brower's location field. Entering the same URL in
Mozilla's location field from a new session without use of the
Googlebar produces the same result, so apparently the URL generated by
Googlebar is bad.
The problem began under Moz. 1.6 and has persisted through
installation of 1.7 and reinstallation of the Googlebar. The behavior
is consistent, without exception. My machine is running WinXP Pro.
Any ideas?

by Googlebar takes the following form:

The "highlight search terms" feature should reset to off when
either of the following conditions is met:
1) focus is put on the search term field
2) a new URI is visited
After using "highlight search terms" on a page containing "a
lot" of
text I have to remember to click off "highlight search terms" before
changing the search terms. If I forget to do this, Firefox can slow to
a crawl as it attempts to highlight possible matches while I type.
This is only a problem on pages with "a lot" of text.

Please check your Googlebar preferences! The behaviour you
describe
could be explained by the fact that the option "Use Google Labs

the key is googlebar.searchoption)

Please file a general purpose bug where we can get all of the
things needed to answer your questions. Firefox has it's own uninstall
mechanism, much different than seamonkey's. Our seamonkey distributions
never came packaged in a googlebar.jar file for one thing. The
uninstall button has been removed from the firefox options panel
because of this.

Lazlo,
There's a bright side somewhere... might take a few years to find it
but... :)
xmut,
I don't think there was a google in China, when we made that
feature available but... waddya know, there is now!
www.google.com/intl/zh-CN/ Is that what you mean? They still don't have
a news.google.com/intl/zh-CN/ yet. But I just put in the search using
the My Country and My Language which has both, Google searches
restricted to site just in China, and pages that are in 2 different
'dialects' maybe. Set the options in the "New additions" options panel
and then use the My Country button. I'll see about getting it in
regular searches soon.
Mark,
> If your graphics guy is going to update the logo,
I don't know which one you have, but there is an updated icon,
the
Earth with the magnifying glass. (They are new buttons and so they
probably haven't found a final resting place on the bar.) You can move
yours though. Right click on the toolbar, and select "Lock Button
positions" so it is unchecked. Drag and drop them the way you want.
Then Lock them again.
The neat thing about the Special Searches is, well any of the
Combo Buttons... which the Google Searches is the only group that
doesn't have this feature... you can use them without promoting them to
the toolbar full time.
RD,
I'll bet your localstore.rdf file is breaking something, or is
broken itself. Try creating a new Mozilla profile, and install the
Googlebar to that. If that works your old profile has probably seen too
many Mozilla upgrades :) You can try renaming the localstore.rdf file
to something close when Mozilla is not running. It will create a new
one when you start it up again. Be sure quicklaunch is not running when
you do that. If that does not work, uninstall mozilla, and delete files
when it asks, then reinstall mozilla.
Stormy,
We do have a translate to English item, both in the context menu,
and a regular button on the Toolbar, in the Page Info group. You want a
different language maybe?
The version is currently 0.9.0.24 for XPI-rimental and
XPI-firefox.
To be on the safe side, on Firefox - uninstall Googlebar first, then
reinstall. You won't lose your settings.
If you install over an existing Googlebar, on Firefox 0.9.0,
you
will lose not only your Googlebar settings... but your whole profile.
(This hopefully won't be required in the future after 1.0, and
shouldn't be required after installing 0.9.0.23 or later versions)
Try entering some urls into the search criteria box.

Just a clean green bar like the original. If you do that and
put out
a press release you will be very popular, very fast. I have looked at
many many forums where the sole reason people won't switch from IE is
because of the google toolbar and page rank. Most people get excited
about the googlebar and then get "irritated because the main feature is
missing". Most people wouldn't mind if that were the only feature.
So please accept my apology for my comment earlier,
make a clean, green pr indicator, put out a press release and sit back
and enjoy the adulation.
Thanks!

Apology accepted.
I was the same way. I used IE along with Mozilla so I could
still check the Pagerank before I made this.
Its too hard to please everyone. Some like it the way it is.
Others
(like you) like the standard green bar. Others want a mix with a green
bar and a number.
This is why I'm doing a skinnable version which allows you to
upload 12 images to my server and the googlebar will use them. Other
people will be able to use your skin as well.

Someone in this forum asked about the autofill feature and

told that Mozilla and Firefox already had that feature. If that reply
was suggesting "Auto Form", that program is nothing like Google's "Auto

well, but for a computer illiterate like myself, the help instructions
are not very helpful. Maybe some kind soul out there could write out a

Get the XPI-firefox.xpi version from here. It should say it is
version 0.9.0.25. If that has any of those annoyances let us know. BUT,
if you have not upgraded your version of Firefox to the bugfixed
edition... 0.9.1, you should uninstall the googlebar before doing
anything like upgrading it. You will lose your profile if you do not.
This is a bug in Firefox, not the Googlebar.

This is a feature request.
When pressing the highlighter button, all keywords present on
the page are highlighted.
On the IE version, if a new keyword is typed into the
GoogleBar,
that keyword is not highlighted until the highlighter button is
depressed and pressed again. There is a very good reason for this
behavior...
If you try to do this on the Mozilla/Firefox version, the
browser
slows to a crawl as it searches-for and highlights each and every
letter of the new term that is being typed in. For example, if I type
"cat", it will first try to highlight all c's that it can find,
followed by all instances of ca's, followed by all cat's. You can
imagine how slow the browser gets on a long page during those first
single and double-character searches.
This forces the user to unclick the highlighter, enter the new
term,
and then click the highlighter again or risk waiting a minute for the
browser to do its search.
I would recommend having the Mozilla/Firefox version of the
GoogleBar react in the same way as the IE version, for the sake of
consistency and simplicity.

RD and zoey... glad I could help, even more glad to see it
worked. I guess I should mention that in bug 6701
there are 2 ways to go... get a toolbar that has buttons for those form
filling features, or use the efritz bookmark generator... that creates
a bookmark with the form information you want remembered. I like both.
Tyke,
Well you will notice it slows down more when you have alot of tabs
open. Someone thought it a good idea to highlight all tabs at once!
Not! Not reacting to each new character when the active tab has
highlighting already... would make it less fallible.( I never use the
feature unless I'm making sure it just works.) Your RFE has been noted.

Lol.
Kevin do a search on this page for Pagerank. ;)

Is there any chance of Pagerank in future releases...
We certainly hope so... but unlike an individual, who can do what
spammers do to avoid being closed down, like change domains... physical
locations etc.. we must play by the rules. It is a legal issue.
" It is very helpful to online advertising useres. "
Hmmm. They are a small part of the web browsing userbase, we have no
choice but to serve the other portion.
I do think you will get alot more results if you let Google
know you
would like the Googlebar to have pagerank. Google has their own
concerns though, but in the end... if the users apply their voice to
Google... that Microsoft should not be the only one to have a browser
capable of retrieving the pagerank data... but it should be made
available to all browsers in a way that Google's own self interests are
not violated... they would make the tradeoffs needed. As long as people
come back here or choose to go on update.mozilla.org and rant... little
will change.
In the mean time, Nick will be more than happy to address your
wants
and needs. Just do a google search for the word "googlebar" and the
third item is where you can find Nick and his modified Googlebar. It
has pagerank data for Mozilla based browsers.

Hehe. I gave him something to do while he was waiting for you

John- you do realize what "bugger" means? It's not a noun:
actually... Well, never mind. There might be children present. Anyway,
to Nick of the lightning keyboard, we've posted a page detailing our
policy towards pagerank, and, yes, a link to your site. But for the
sake of not letting the Feedback page get too long, could we agree to
let that and your Google rank serve as sufficient advertising for now?

Nice Pagerank page. That should catch the eye of the people
looking for pagerank before they post here. Thanks for the link.
I understand about the feedback page getting too long. Its one
of the few text only pages that I actually see loading. ;)
With the new pagerank page up I'll leave it up to you to
direct
people to it. It should be seen immediately anyway since it is in bold.
Bugger is Aussie slang for damn. I know it has a rude meaning
but I forget what it is. reference.com isnt a great help. ;)
Its used quite commonly over here.

umm.. as far as bugger is concerned, rather than refernce.com,
try

Well if there are senses of the word that are profane, Nick
knows I
wasn't using those. ( Hey Nick! Don't forget to fudge them numbers.
googlebar.mozdev.org is nothing less than a Google 9. Right... :)
AndyB, David Taylor, I had no idea! Whew! Thanks for the heads
up...
both of you. (I must have gotten the term from a darn aussie movie I
watched recently.)
What I said was a noun, so the worst case doesn't even fit.
Everone else had better leave that link alone. :)
As a matter of fact this page has almost reached it's end of
life cycle. (It takes too long to load.)
