[release]searchbar Desklet

This is amazing, absolutely no doubt.

However, my one question is this...

When I do a search for "CNN" for example, and "CNN" comes up as the first site...when I click on it the google search page opens and not "CNN" itself...can this be corrected, otherwise it seems redundant.

Thanks in advance.

@CaClark: I'll add it tomorrow.

@ethernet: it's a little error in my calculation, I will fix it tomorrow, just check back here then :). Thanks for pointing me to the bug. For now, just click a bit lower on the first result.

Andreas, is it possible to make a version for those who have the taskbar at the bottom? If not, please say so.

#199467

I would like to have a plain searchbar like this......search

#199474

#199658

wow thats great man, I love Avedesk :D

Another fine creation by AdreasV!

Every time I think thats it, he can't surprise me with another great widget you surprise me again. It's already hard to imagine what will be the next widget...

But, is this possible to make this widget not always on top, as it overlaps some things like install programs, and even sometime games, and that can be a mess. Hope it's possible to work around....

And thanks again for another great widget! :D

How do you get it to not cover up the clock? Is there a program you can download so you can mess with the clocks pos.?

#199834

Just set the desklet to "Always on top" in desklet properties.

#199837

Thats the reason it covers the clock....

#199961

andreas, this is mind-blowing! way to cool to find me words.

ah, btw, could someone explain how to move the clock to the left? u know, not all of us have the grogs to edit visual-styles. ;)

Well presently it is saying it cannot connect to the google website, so not sure what's up with that?

Cheers!

I had that problem too, configure your firewall to let avedesk connect to the internet.

I don't run a firewall in that sense, it's built in to my router. It worked when I installed the first relase, it was only the current latest one that stopped working.

Cheers!

Centered the "search" text and made it wider.

I still think my magnifying glass looks funny.. if anyone can come up with a better version, feel free to post it.

By the way, does anyone know why clicking on the first search result takes you to the Google page, but clicking on any other result takes you to that result's webpage?

Thank you so much AndreasV for this great desklet ^^

#200158

This looks awesome. For some reason though its not showing up in my add desklet dialog... I unzipped to my avedesk folder so searchbar.dll is in the root folder and the images folder is a first level subdirectory. Any ideas why its not showing up?

Yes please do I want something to go with Panther not Tiger and that would be great

Absolutely great work - still have a problem with it, though. When I set the desklet to "always on top", the search icon is always visible, even when I am running a full-screen application (image slideshow, video etc.). Is there any way to solve this?

@d.crowley: I think that happens with everyone. But unless I'm wong, it's the only way to keep it on top of ObjectBar/your taskbar.
