Information

Google Utilities is a script that allows you to use many of Google's search functions! I've made an easy to use user interface which allows you to customise many options which Google provides - e.g which country and/or language.

You can access Google Utilities from within the Plus! icon as shown below .

Msgplus! Live Script Database Link

Latest Version: 1.02 (25/06/2006)

Features

• Google Search: !gsearch <query> [Returns top 3 searches, although you can customise this in the preferences]
  
• Google Results: !gresults <query> [Returns number of results for the query]
  
• Google Spelling Suggestion: !gspell <phrase> [Returns a spelling suggestion for incorrect words]
  
• Google Cache: !gcache <url> [Returns the size of Google's cached page for the url query and also the cached link]
  
• Google Fight: !gfight <query1>|<query2> [Returns the amount of results for both searches and determines which query is the winner]
  
• Google Define: !gdefine <query> [Returns a link for Google's defintion page for the query. As this is not supported in the API it is only the link that is returned.

and... Google Utilities is 100% documented. If you are thinking of making your own script, please have a read through my source code! Every instruction has documentation beside it showing you exactly how it works! Hopefully this will help a few people create their own scripts .




This is an example of the Google Search feature. You can customise this feature in the preferences to restrict the search to specific languages or countries. You can also set the number of results which is shown between 1 - 10.




This is Google Utilities' preferences area. Here you can specify all the settings you'd like the script to use when performing the above features.




This Help window is included so if you forget a command (or what each command does) you can easily look it up.

Well done, i will be sure to download this when i download msgplus live. It looks like a great script. So many people are making scripts now

hehe yeah! Well this one took me a few weeks to make! It should actually be in the scripts database but i can't access msgpluslive.net to check

Edit: Ok, screenies updated!
Edit: Links updated to the Msgplus! Live Script Database.

Really? Thats weird. Try clicking it now, it should take you to the official Msgplus! Live scripting database whereby you can click the download button at bottom of the page .

I am a serious news junkie so I would love an option to search google news!

Can you do this? I would be sooo grateful!

Great script! Very usefull indeed, specially when you're talking to someone who really doesn't know how to search hehe

I would like to sugest just 2 things:
1 - An option to show the search address above the search results
(ex. when you search for "msgplus" in google: http://www.google.com/search?q=msgplus&rls=com.microsoftt&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1)
And a command to just show the search address, with no results shown (helpful for those who can't search, as refered about)

2 - More formatting of the search results, allowing to put the search result TITLE and URL in same line, allowing to trucante the search result text to a defined number of chars...
Ex.
Messenger Plus! Extension - http://www.msgplus.net/
Adds extra fun...

Title and url in the same line and trucanted after 14 chars...


Hope I've made myself understand.. If not tell me, I'll try again

Well I got my old l33t coding skillZ (lol) back and I'm working on the sugestions I made... Some more info soon hehe

I've had problems with this scripts as it's says that Google has encountered an internal error....does it happen often?
