Add Mac OS X Hints to Searchling
Authored by: boblangdon on Dec 04, '02 10:58:06PM

I can't find a file named sites.xml.
The only file that's generated is:

/users/username/library/preferences/Searchling.plist

which contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>dv com.apple.soundmgr._DV Sound Output Settings</key>
<data>
fQAAAA==
</data>
<key>lastSite</key>
<string>Google</string>
<key>lastType</key>
<string>Web</string>
</dict>
</plist>

When I cut and paste the recommended code before the closing </plist> tag, nothing changes at all. When I quit and re-launch Searchling, the changes I made to Searchling.plist disappear and revert to the original state.

Ideas???????

Locate the actual Searchling app. Right-click and you should see a contextual menu appear - in that menu one of the selections is "Show package contents" - select that. You should now see a dir/folder called "Contents", double-click that and you will see several dirs and files. Locate the "Resources" dir and open that and you will find your "sites.xml" file to edit.

not in my searchling
Authored by: teklife on Dec 14, '03 12:56:29AM

i know how to open package contents, but when i open my searchling, there is no sites.xml file anywhere within. the first level contains the following:

Info.plist
MacOS(folder)
pbdeveleopment.plist
PkgInfo
PrivateHeaders(folder), and
Resources(folder).

inside the Resources folder are the following files,

Credits.rtf
defaults.plist
English.lproj (folder)
itemicon.tif
itemiconSel.tif
Japanese.lproj
searchling-app.icns

a search for the file, sites.xml revealed a file in the searchling folder inside the ApplicationSupport folder. how will editing this file help me if it's not in the app itself? do i edit default.plist instead? why is mine different?
