Search Multiple Words

Post by morat »

Is there an extension to search multiple words on a webpage for SeaMonkey 2.33.1?

SearchWP (fx)

Googlebar Lite (fx)

(In general) are you aware of Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey?

No idea of either extension will work, but you could try :-).

SearchWP is on the Add-on Converter's list of extensions known not to work after conversion. I tried Googlebar Lite, which installs after conversion and mostly works, but it won't highlight the individual words one at a time. It will highlight all the matching words in a page, though.
But then again, I may be wrong.

@therube

Thanks. I'll try the converter.

@Andy

Thanks for testing.

BTW,

Are the extensions on xsidebar.mozdev.org obsolete?

Is it better to convert or use a mod?

Image Zoom (fx) (tb) (sm)
http://addons.mozilla.org/addon/139
http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#imagezoom

I worry that the mod version has problems...

The developer reuses the find bar mechanisms in Firefox.

Code: Select all

// Firefox
var findBar = document.defaultView.gFindBar; // [object XULElement]

Code: Select all

// SeaMonkey
var findBar = document.defaultView.gFindBar; // undefined

modifiedmisc is certainly dated (in all respects), but then anything on AMO has that potential too.
I had used 0461 from there.

Then a customized 047+mod (added Image Fit to Width & a few fixes).

Then I believe Jason (imagezoom) put out an 054 & 063, which I have on hand, but (in my current Profile, at least) I've retained 047+mod. On other Profiles, I must be running either 054 or 063. Wouldn't know a zombie if it hit me over the head with a flailing arm (& Zombie compartments! Recognize and report them. Stop the screaming. & Zombie compartments don't really do enough for me.

I got the Googlebar Lite 5.0.6 [converted] extension working with SeaMonkey 2.33.1.

Find next occurrence fails.

Error: TypeError: invalid 'in' operand findBar
Source file: chrome://googlebarlite/content/googlebarlite.js
Line: 651

Fix:

* chrome\content\googlebarlite.js

Code: Select all

- var findBar = document.defaultView.gFindBar;
+ var findBar = document.getElementById("FindToolbar");

Code: Select all

- gFindBar._findField.value;
+ document.getElementById("FindToolbar")._findField.value;

Search history dropmarker does not work.
(workaround, use down arrow key in search box)

Search history dropmarker does not disappear after disabling search history.
(workaround, use userChrome.css tweak)

Code: Select all

/* SeaMonkey 2.33 userChrome.css */

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

#GBL-SearchBox > .autocomplete-history-dropmarker
{ display: none !important; }
