My new Desktop Quick Search
Tuesday, February 25, 2003 by Dreamdesign3d | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I know most of you are leery of downloading programs from people unless you really know them well but I was wondering if you all would want to try out my quick search program and see if it is useful or not if so I will finish it up add a few more things that I have planed for it like a goggle search button maybe even a mp3/wave/CD player tab to it. Unzip it on your desktop open the folder and then click on Desktop Quick Search.EXE Let me know what you think and I’ll load it up with stuff if you all like it with a way to somewhat skin it by changing the picture files.

checking it out now 
I think what happened was the "percent symbols" were stripped?
When I click the link it ended at : http://www.dreamdesign3d.com/ftp/Desktop <-
all I had to do was add the (-whites pace-"Quick"-white space-"Search.Zip")
and it worked fine for download...

use an under-score in your naming convention which should make it so that doesn't happen with posted links?

Thanks now if I can get the other 2 million people here to try it out and see if they like it if so then would make an icon for it and add all the other stuff that I was going to add to it. I will also make it more able to be skined as of now it does not allow for much diversity. I will make a map with the sizes so you know exactly were to put them. I also need to figure out what most people would like the files to be : GIF,JPEG,or BMP

This will probably not make it over there in the library like SysMetrix did but I’m hoping it will get a good response. If it does then I will finish and try out a few other things I’m working on like a log on screen for windows 98Dreamdesign3d that have a few other options that XP doesn’t have and a few other programs.

if you type / and "me" together it does that. like this... BoXXi types / and me together to turn the text red and insert his nickname.

in time, if you set it up so it loaded the useable search enginers from a txt based file, people could then personalize it and probably be more apt to use it.
just a thought, there are a bunch of different meta serach engines, some specialized others not, and they might also be able to pass their logon information with the url in a fassion that allows them to search, say their own gallery on the fly for new comments and such?

Well it’s been a day now just wondering if any one other then IPlural has tried this. I would really like some feed back on it please. Even if it is to say naw it’s just a waist of space on my computer.

well, I didn't really look yet to see how you have it. But if the search engine urls are hard coded into it, that limits the ability to configure it for a persons personality as far as like and dislikes in what search engines they make use of.
I use dogpile and metacrawler for the most part, if the list of search engines are pulled in from a text based file then a person could edit it so they could add or remove the urls to the search engines they like to use most.
you could limit the number allowed but the number of args(urls) the app would load so it wouldn't grow to large..

personally think it would/could be a great addition to making skins and themes eventually as a plugin so you could add it to the task bar, objectbars, desktopx etc and integrate it into things by choice
haven't looked so not sure if anyone has done anything like that yet, but even so, there are never too many choices of tools to do a job
