Here is an example how to use google to search in archlinux pages using a url:

Arch Wiki

Here is the code for a google arch search plugin, usable with mozilla (firefox). Place the file, together with a png icon 16x16 given the same name, inside the mozilla firefox' "searchplugins" folder:

Maybe you'll find this usefull. I just send the both scripts, and the png files, to http://mycroft.mozdev.org. In some days, I hope, or weeks you can add them to your firefox' search bar using the "Add search Plugin" menue inside your firefox browser.

Feel free to include it to the firefox package.

How about adding those files to arch-artwork package?

hugelmopf · 2005-01-22 16:51:28

I am not sure, why you are using google for this, and not the forum search or wiki search directly. I created the following files for direct searching, but as these are my first searchplugins and I didn't read a Howto, they might not be perfect... but they work:

PS: Can anybody tell me, how to make the Forum search return the results as topics (not as posts)? It works when I search "manually", but not with this Firefox searchplugin.

PPS: To change the order of my searchplugins, I created folders A, B, C, D, ... in the /opt/mozilla/lib/firefox-xx/searchplugins folder and put my .src and .png files there.

or u can simply put "site:" prefix in the google search, like this :

site:wiki.archlinux.org udev

to search for udev on wiki.archlinux.org

dtw · 2005-01-23 09:45:26

can you do one to search the pkg repo dbase - that would rule!

z4ziggy · 2005-01-23 10:11:35

u can use something like this to search for "autoconf" for example :

site:http://cvs.archlinux.org autoconf

the result i got was autoconf PKGBUILD cvs

Is this what you mean?

I think I took this from some other place in this forum.

hugelmopf · 2005-01-23 10:26:10

Btw... I have put up some small arch logos with a small F (Forum), W (Wiki) and P (Packages) in the left top corner, to be used for the Mozilla search. If you want to use them (or improve them), they are here:

http://www.physik.tu-dresden.de/~s28904 … _Forum.png
http://www.physik.tu-dresden.de/~s2890409/Arch_Wiki.png
http://www.physik.tu-dresden.de/~s28904 … ackage.png

They have to be put in the same folder as the .src files and have the same name.

try adding
<input name="show_results" value="topics">
you should be able to change value to be posts for the other method..

hugelmopf · 2005-01-23 10:40:11

Thanks for the input, but it doesn't work. I had tried this before, and although it appears in the URL (show_results=topics), it still displays Posts. It's kind of weird... maybe something to do with the form data not being transferred via "POST"?

cactus · 2005-01-23 10:47:01

could be how the php script is actually checking vars from the submit.
I have not looked at the code in the var parser, so I can't say for certain. My guess was truly from the hip..

cactus · 2005-01-23 10:53:56

A little testing, and it proved it. It works with post but not get, at least from a static html page on my box. Try changing your method to post, and adding that line back in.

dtw · 2005-01-23 11:26:47

can someone add these to the wiki?

hugelmopf · 2005-01-23 11:31:12

Ok, I will add these to the wiki later. I have to figure out how to use POST first. It doesn't work by just changing GET to POST.

dtw · 2005-06-08 23:58:55

has anyone fixed these?

hugelmopf · 2005-06-09 09:22:03

I have not fixed the Forum search, sorry.

It didn't work right away and right now I am working on an AMD64 machine, which I installed Debian-AMD64 on (I loved Archlinux, but I just had to try the AMD64 stuff ;-)). So I won't look into this for some time. But feel free to do yourself and remove my authorship from them.

Have fun,
Frank

OK - can someone else re-write these for the new wiki?

dtw · 2005-08-08 08:27:26

Well, I did it instead - this will let you search the Arch Wiki Directly:
