Google Quick Search Box Description

An open source search box that allows you to search data on your computer and across the web Google Quick Search Box is very experimental, but through it you will be able to see many of the explored areas: actions, contextual search, and extensibility. Google Quick Search Box is by no means feature-complete, but is a very good indication of things to come.NOTE: Google Quick Search Box is provided and licensed under the terms of the New BSD License. Here are some key features of "Google Quick Search Box": · It works as a location bar AND a search box - It'll autocomplete URLs and you can use TAB to search any website using Site Search. · The tab key has special functionality beyond just site search. It is equivalent to "search in this context": you'll see that the results of a contextual search include related items, contents, and actions. · Calculation, Weather, and Definition one boxes will show up periodically. More are on the way. What else would you expect to see? · If you enable it, spotlight results will show up. Usually these are relegated to the "More" section at the bottom of the window, but once you use these items, they'll be learned and become much faster to access. What's New in This Release: · Calculator results now copy and paste correctly. · Added GoogleDocsSaveAsActions which allow docs to be save to a local file. Spreadsheets are also supported as of the fix to Issue 595. · Issue 52: We now show the QSB immediately on launch in a disabled state until we are ready. · Issue 354: You can now assign a function key to QSB. Thanks to spleaner for supplying a patch for this issue. · Issue 518: You can now assign control-tab as hotkey for QSB. · Matching performance (especially on regularly used items) should be noticeably faster. Also, cut down on useless redraw. · Issue 515: Play songs in iTunes in non-English locales should now work. Thanks to Philipp Comans for isolating this issue. · A couple of checkboxes in preferences had their scaling turned on which was presenting warnings at compile time. The scaling was unnecessary and was removed. · Issue 483: At startup, the search window was always being re-centered on the screen. This has been changed to restore the previous position and then perform a sanity check to insure the window is completely visible. · Issue 564: Some garbage could be seen in the descriptive text shown for More results because the descriptive string contained more than one line of text. This is no longer necessary since only one line of description is now shown, so we retreive and present only the single line of descriptive text. Also enhanced the tool tip for More results by presenting a URL when available. · Issue 533: Accented characters and other composed characters are now properly selected during autocompletion. · Issue 570: Eliminated warnings when compiling .xib files. · Issue 481: We no longer show up at startup if we are a startup item. · Issue 502: When looking for the double command key tap we now ignore it if there is a mouse down or up during the taps. Makes cmd-clicking things much easier. · Issue 531: Phone numbers now get a "1" country code stuck on them if necessary to make them work with Skype. · Issue 561: Contacts now show street addresses as one of their fields. · Issue 562: The default action for a street address is to display it in Google Maps. · Startup now has a "progress indicator" of sorts. Our window appears much faster at startup so there isn't any "hang" after launch. · Issue 567: Right after launching, some shortcuts could be missing critical information required for performing certain actions, particularly for sources that may take some time to refresh their results. To fix this, added - function which allows sources to provide additional information to be cached for a result. This information could still become stale if the source changes while QSB is not running, but that's a different problem. · Issue 350: We now keep track of what space (as in spaces and expose) the user is currently in, and display the preferences on that space instead of jumping to the first space that they opened the preferences panel on. · Issue 597: Darkened the selection to make it easier to discern. · Issue 540 and Issue 600: The positioning of the results in relation to the search box should be much better now. There was a cycle of window size adjustments occurring which has been eliminated. · Added a new python search source for retrieving stock data, given a stock ticker called StockQuoter. This plugin also demonstrates the use of custom results views. See the comments in QSBResultRowViewController.m and take a look at the implementation of StockQuoterViewController.h/.m. · Issue 581, Issue 540 and Issue 495: The search box can now be moved closer to the edges of the screen, the movement of the window has been improved significantly when the results panel is presented, and the result window is kept better aligned with the search box. · Issue 503: Enhanced the reporting of authentication issues for Google Accounts. · Issue 119: URLs containing encoded special characters were not being complete decoded. · Issue 17: Added a Directory Service search source that provides contact results from Open/Active/LDAP directories to which the computer is bound. · Issue 568: QuickLook should no longer block up our UI, and icons in general should load faster. · Issue 119: Pivoting on a web history result, refining the search and choosing the default action should now result in a valid URL. · Shortcuts for items that no longer exist are now removed from the shortcuts database. · Added Firefox bookmark plugin based on work by Adam Ecay. · Added support for unittesting plugins. · Issue 435: A console message is now generated if there has been an authentication issue that might stem from a corrupt keychain. · Issue 586: A new action allowing image and movies results to be uploaded to Picasa Web has been added to the PicasaWeb plugin. · Issue 104: Added a search source for clipboard history. It allows you to search for items in the history or simply search for "clipboard" to see a list of the (up to) 25 most recent clipboard items. Select the item, then hit return or command-C to copy back to the clipboard. · Issue 630: Account passwords can be edited for an account, or the account can be removed, for accounts for which the associated keychain entry has been removed.
