It is just a javascript so it will work with any version. and for Adsense look above. There are only 5 messages here and even that you are so lazy to read lolzz

I am happy to announce that a new feature was added to the widget:
Add as many predefined search engines to Searchamabob as you like
Simply add the following code before the the Searchamabob javascript line:

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  g_customEngines = new Array();
  g_customEngines[0] = "Replace with the description , http://www.SearchEngine.com/<term>";
</SCRIPT>


Each element in "g_customEngines" is your definition of a search engine. The name and address of the engine, is separated by a comma. Set the right description of the engine, and replace the URL with the one you want. The <term> tag will be replaced with the search query the user selected.

Does anyone know if its legal by the TOS of Google to use the AdSense for Search with this mod? I mean, if I use Google's search engine I can get revenue whenever users search Google from the mod and click on the Ads... Anyone know?

We just released v.1.3 of Searchamabob. In this version you have a complete control over the colors of the widget:

To change the background color define the g_menuBKColor variable in a Javascript block:

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
   g_menuBKColor = "E4E4E4";
</SCRIPT>


To change the border color define the g_menuBorderColor variable in a Javascript block:

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
   g_menuBorderColor = "C0C0C0";
</SCRIPT>


To change the font color define the g_menuFontColor variable in a Javascript block:

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
   g_menuFontColor = "000000";
</SCRIPT>


To change the mouse-over color define the g_menuMouseoverColor variable in a Javascript block:

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
   g_menuMouseoverColor = "F4F4F4";
</SCRIPT>

* Note: Do not add the '#' sign before the color you define.


Enjoy
