Searching MacUpdate...

Well, after looking at this hint and seeing that it works, I decided to fiddle around with it to make it work with MacUpdate as well. MacUpdate has fewer ads and is faster, so I prefer it over VersionTracker. With a few minor modifications, it will work perfectly in MacUpdate. The location of the link just has to be:
javascript:q=prompt("Search MacUpdate:","");if(q)location.href=
'http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?&os=macosx&keywords='+escape(q);
[Remove the line break, and don't add any spaces] I've tested it with Chimera 0.6 and Safari beta(v51) in 10.2.3 and it works very nicely. I thought you may want to share it with your readers, since I'm sure some of them probably also prefer MacUpdate to VersionTracker.
I thought I'd run this as a comment here instead of a separate hint so that all these search methods are in one hint... -rob.
