Thanks for the heads up. I’ll get this fixed ASAP!

It seems google has changed the path for searching videos
Each time I try, I got a 404 page with
“The requested URL /videosearch?q=my_video_research&ie=UTF-8 was not found on this server”

The “new” path (or at least the one that works for me) seems to be http://www.google.com/search?tbm=vid&q=my_video_research

Googlebar Lite's search history is stored the same way form history is stored (it uses the same internal mechanism). Which file specifically does that data reside in? I'm not sure. You can delete items in the search history by using the Shift+Del keyboard shortcut. I'm not aware of an easy way to insert values without actually searching.

Hi Jonah,
Great extension. I use it all the time and my customers always get it too.
Where is the search history logged? Suppose I wanted to add (without actually searching) or delete an individual item. (Yes, I have a specific reason for asking this =D ) Is this possible?
Thanks,
Greg

At this time, Googlebar Lite does not support the “search suggest” feature. My main goal with Googlebar Lite is to keep it as small as possible, and that’s a feature that would add unnecessary bloat. One of these days, however, I may investigate implementing it in a future release. As of right now, it’s not on my radar.

Hi Jonah,

(for some reason I simply cannot find how to create a new post here!!).

I am considering giving up using the normal Google Toolbar – I have been using it with a checkCompatibility add-on to suppress version checking. It actally still works, but is difficult to install on new machines (you have to install version 4 of Firefox, install the add-on, and then install the latest FF version).

My question: did you never implement the functionality whereby search results are suggested as you type and displayed in the dropdown underneath the search box? (or am I perhaps having issues with my proxy at work that render that functionality dead…). It seems to me the first thing that anyone writing a google search funtionality would add. Apart from that your tool does EXACTLY what I want! Looks great.

Thanks and apologies for my lack of finding the “new post” button…

Phil

Thank you! Such a simple fix to resolve exactly the problem I had.

Googlebar Lite supports all current Firefox versions (it’s running fine on several of my 18.0 installs). However, I will not be supporting Firefox Mobile; Googlebar Lite doesn’t lend itself well to the mobile environment, and that space is outside the scope of my development efforts.

Feel free to use Chrome instead.

When I tried to install Googlebar Lite 4.9.5 addOn on my Samsung Galaxy S2, it said incompatible with current version of Firefox (17.0.1). I have been a long time user of Firefox on my desktop and laptop, but I will drop Firefox in a heartbeat on all 3 machines in favour of Chrone if I can`t use a toolbar for Google apps. I knw that I won`t be alone, so I suggest you find a fix fast or revert back to an earlier compatable version. No new feature or bug fix comes close to Googlebar Lite.

Thanks.

I noted this change when I migrated Googlebar Lite to a more portable drag-and-drop interface. I’ll look into adding an option to the extension to allow you to alter the behavior of dropping links into the search box.
