Google Updates? [just a FF ex. sorry] by Chris4 on 09-21-2005 at 05:27 PM

Has anyone else noticed updates in the Google website?

[Image: google5ym.th.png]

Update #1 - At the top of your Google search, it now says:

quote:
Try your search on Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, AllTheWeb, Teoma, MSN, Lycos, Technorati, Feedster, Bloglines, Altavista

Weird, because thats free advertising for them websites. Why would Google want their visitors to go to any other search engine?

Update #2 - On Google Images, you have a choice of going to the page where the image is or directly to the image:

quote:
[ Origin Image | Origin Page ]

paste the following into one of those userjs things for google images site , it will rewrite the link to the real image.
code:
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(var i =0;i<links.length;i++){
var match = links[i].href.match( /\/imgres\?imgurl\=(.*?)\&imgrefurl\=/ );
if(match){
links[i].href = decodeURI(match[1]);
}
}

Yay it works!
* rav0 officially needs userjs

Still wish it worked like CustomizeGoogle though. Oh well, up with Opera!

:P use this in your userjs thing then.
code:
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(var i =0;i<links.length;i++){
var match = links[i].href.match( /\/imgres\?imgurl\=(.*?)\&imgrefurl\=(.*?)\&/ );
if(match){
var div = document.createElement('div');
var imageUrl = document.createElement('a');
var imagePage = document.createElement('a');
var spacer = document.createTextNode(' | ');

div.setAttribute('class','gi_imagetext');
div.setAttribute('style','font-size:10px;');
imageUrl.setAttribute('href',decodeURI(match[1]));
imagePage.setAttribute('href',decodeURI(match[2]));
imageUrl.innerHTML = 'Origin Image';
imagePage.innerHTML = 'Origin Page';

div.innerHTML = '[ ';
div.appendChild(imageUrl);
div.appendChild(spacer);
div.appendChild(imagePage);
div.innerHTML += ' ]';

links[i].parentNode.appendChild(div)
}
}

works just like the screenshot of it earlier in this thread.

Mmm ... stealing features.

That wasn't a request, but it was fulfilled anyway:D, thanks(Y).

RE: Google Updates? [just a FF ex. sorry] by zach on 09-22-2005 at 08:32 AM

Strange that you didn't notice that you downloaded the extension :P
I have this extension too, but I don't find it very good. www.google.com is redirected to www.google.co.nz because I live in New Zealand, so the extension doesn't edit the page.
Alot of the features I try to enable to have any effect on pages :\

RE: Google Updates? [just a FF ex. sorry] by rav0 on 09-22-2005 at 09:41 AM

To use Google.com use the uri http://www.google.com/ncr.

The user JavaScript solution works for me. I'm using Google Suggest Australia with Opera 8.5.7700 on Windows XP SP2.

PS maybe you should add "misunderstanding" or "false alarm" into the subject of this thread, I didn't understand it when I read it. I thought it meant you were an ex Firefox user who was discussing new features that you hadn't ever seen, and was apologising if we thought it was old news and didn't care.

Ill take a look at the extention and see if i can modify it to work on your page :)

edit:
hmm looked at it and it uses a regexp like
code:
if (!(/\.js$/.test(href)) && !(/complete\/search/.test(href)) && /^http[s]?:\/\/.*\.google\..*\/.*$/.test(href)) {
and that should match your co.nz thing...

* -dt- ponders...
