set Chimera search prefs in Mozilla?, feature request, user.js
Authored by: mclbruce on Sep 12, '02 12:48:32PM

I put the search button that comes with Chimera on my toolbar, and it takes me to Google. I'm running 10.2 upgraded from 10.1.x. I figure one of two things is happening. I had Google set as my search engine in 10.1.x system preferences, and in Mozilla. I figure Chimera picks it up from one of the two places. Perhaps setting the search engine in Mozilla will also set it in Chimera.

I'd like to see a modification that would take what I type in the location field and do a search for that in Google when I click on a search button in the toolbar. This is what Mozilla does. Any ideas?

I wonder if modifying the Chimera app can be avoided by creating a user.js text file in your profile directory and putting the various options in there. Some Mozilla hacks, particularly the external email hack, work in this way.

Well if you go here -> http://personal.concepthause.com/index.php?m=200209#121
you can see another way to do all this, that is a little easier, making it possible to do one click searching from the search icon in the toolbar.
