Has anyone else noticed updates in the Google website?



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!

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, thanks.
