Google Searcher by Ashylay on 03-24-2007 at 11:21 AM

Okay so I was thinking of making a script but I am an utterly complete noob at this type of scripting.

I was thinking for a first script for making a google searcher, seems simple enough all I should have to do is just find the google url for searching(http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=TEXT GOES HERE) so you could do for example:

/gsearch Frogs

and it would search google for Frogs?

I know in actionscript you would say:

getURL("http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=" + text you typed);

but hmm yeah just wondering?

not that I'm saying you shouldn't but with scripts like

and

http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=61...d=673365#pid673365 (however it should be noted that the links there no longer work, so I'm not 100% sure if development is still happening.)

Is there any need to do it? perhaps you could ask the developers about their scripts and if they allow you you might get to help out in making changes, adding things, etc.

you could get one and look at it's source code to see how it works. Just after you install the script, go to the preferences, choose a script and look at the source code.
