This is a greasemonkey question.
What I'm trying to do is modify an old google discussions script.
What were wanting to do is be able to take
the google search query and add modifiers to
the end of it.
Like this:
search query: "superuser"
modifiers: inurl:greasemonkey+question
end result: "superuser" inurl:greasemonkey+question
The old script creates a new div within
the "hdtb_more_mn" element which is where you get
the new discussions tab.
However, since
the "tbm=dsc" option to do a discussion search has died, this script no longer works.
Hence
the need to add modifiers to your searches.
I tried to edit
the script, but it appends
the modifiers to
the end of
the url which includes "&client=firefox-a&hs=8uS&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official". This means you're also searching for
the above as well as your query, which doesn't work.
I would like to be able to append
the modifiers @
the end of
the search querty, rather than
the whole URL.
I'm just not sure how to code it to where it adds
the below "&tbm=" stuff within "discussionDiv.innerHTML" to
the end of
the query.
The google search id seems to be, "gbqfq" for
the search box, but I'm not sure how to add this id.
Here is
the old script
// ==UserScript==
// @name Add Back Google Discussions
// @version 1.4
// @description Adds back
the Discussion filters to Google Search
// @include *://*.google.tld/search*
// ==/UserScript==
var url = location.href;
if (url.indexOf('tbm=dsc') < 0)
addFilterType('dsc', 'Discussions');
function addFilterType(val, name) {
var searchType = document.getElementById('hdtb_more_mn');
var discussionDiv = document.createElement('DIV');
discussionDiv.className = 'hdtb_mitem';
discussionDiv.innerHTML = '<a class="q
qs" href="'+ (url.replace(/&tbm=[^&]*/g,'') + '&tbm=' + val) +'">'+name+'</a>';
searchType.innerHTML += discussionDiv.outerHTML;
}
Thanks for any help, or suggestions on who to ask. Google Chrome has an extension for discussion searches, but FF doesn't seem to have one as of yet, which is why I'm trying to modify
the above.
