New Spotlight clone
When I try to install it says that msvcrt.dll is in use. I've closed all programs and it still insists that msvcrt.dll is running...any ideas?
I had the same problem, I ignored it and it seems to still work ok.
okay, so i used the updated program above, and it says there is an error here:
/ok?url=%2Fsearch%26s%3D51FSlHgVBay3XmbKDyunckfKLYU%3Fq%3Dsacasc%26btnG%3DSearch%2BDesktop&s=xOSkaxGsuffLt4KYUaqieB9U8Ug
few suggestions:
- fix image opening bug
- if there's a mix of normal documents and pdf documens, don't group everything as PDFs
- have the app running all the time, but with a switch to open the search window (meaning that if we click offscreen we don't lose search results)
- add tooltips with file info
I second all of those, especially the having it running all the time because it's a pain when you click off.

I Ignored it, and unfortunately, It doesn't work....
im still having trouble getting results to show in spotlight. results appear fine if i use the embedded browser in preferences but NOT the search criteria box in preferences.
those of you who have gotten it to work, what does your url in the spotlight preferences look like?
http://localhost:4664/ok?url= ???
EDIT: this is what i have:
/ok?url=%2Fsearch%26s%3DFxJ15Rktf3AWMXVYibBf9EXjbro%3Fq%3D%26ie%3DUTF%2D8&s=xhMhA8WXyP-oGAcQARW0l_hFUIU
everything's ok in the dialog boxresult appears
but in spotlight nothin...
Same issue here, can anyone help???
EDIT: Never mind, I fixed it.
although i havent gotten it to work yet (someone help!), i have another suggestion (follow up to saladins post):
- allow windowfx/yz shadow to apply shadows to it
pardon my bluntness, but could we retard the feature requests a little until most of us have this working??? 
oh yeah, ps: I was finally able to get the damn .exe to show up in the diagnostic build (thank you tom) and it can't find anything in the normal search (though it comes up fine when I do it through preferences) so I don't know whats going on
great idea though, it looks fantastic, and i'm glad it finally "shows up" on my comp! :-D
@ MDZ61384 :
At Spotlight preferences did it work.if yes then you sould see the google web page and the RAW Html code.Copy and past the code here and i will tell you what to do.
heres what i have...
top url field:
http://127.0.0.1:4664/ok?url=%2Fsearch%26s...jaXQrMtW73Qzrwc
address:
http://127.0.0.1:4664/search&s=FxJ15Rktf3A...YibBf9EXjbro?q=
raw html:
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("opera") == -1) {
location.replace("http://127.0.0.1:4664/search&s=FxJ15Rktf3AWMXVYibBf9EXjbro?q=")
}
</script>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url='http://127.0.0.1:4664/search&s=FxJ15Rktf3AWMXVYibBf9EXjbro?q='">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
ok, ive done what fmpunk told me to do, and pasted the url into the raw html, but still no results in spotligt. But, im getting results in the spotlight pref box, same as before.
Only that code nothing more?
I did what Tom say to me at the end of Page 9.check it out
you to sacas check it out you copy a part of RAW html to the address.

Ive done that many times already, and like i said before : i can get results in the google search in the pref's box , but when i use spotlight, it doesnt show any results.
yeah im having no luck with the page 9 steps. ive tried several variations as well. kinda confusing with the various fields: preferences url/address, search criteria/search in the browser.
lol this stuff is so damn complicated
ha...totally. wasnt a very productive day at work for me.
for some reason, im no longer seeing that "click here to use your unsupported browser". heres my raw html after a) updating my unique ID,
entering something in the search chriteria field, and c) clicking 'search'...

pardon my bluntness, but could we retard the feature requests a little until most of us have this working???
Those who don't have it working are not doing something as they should. Those were not feautre request as much as bugfixes (images don't open, labels are wrong) and annoyance resolving issues. It's noot like I'm hailing anything not necessary (such as but not limited to skin support)
it doesnt work mpampoulas- when i paste the url into the adress, it snaps back to the original adress
yes sacas.When you paste it at the address you must press fast the go button..if i remeber right.Tom will know better.
