Download Search Tweak

VinDSL · Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2005 11:17 pm

I was playing around with my Download module tonight, and realized that the 'other Search Engines' links were seriously
out of date. A lot of these web sites don't even exist any more, so I tweaked it.

This is what I came up with...

If you would like to do the same thing...

OPEN: 'modules/Downloads/index.php'

At the end of the search function...

FIND:

Code:

echo " <center>"
.""._TRY2SEARCH." \"$the_query\" "._INOTHERSENGINES." "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&sc=on&hl=on&act=2006&par=0&q=$the_query&kl=XX&stype=stext\">Alta Vista</a> - "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.hotbot.com/?MT=$the_query&DU=days&SW=web\">HotBot</a> - "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.infoseek.com/Titles?qt=$the_query\">Infoseek</a> - "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.dejanews.com/dnquery.xp?QRY=$the_query\">Deja News</a> - "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.lycos.com/cgi-bin/pursuit?query=$the_query&maxhits=20\">Lycos</a> - "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=$the_query\">Yahoo</a>"
." "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://es.linuxstart.com/cgi-bin/sqlsearch.cgi?pos=1&query=$the_query&language=&advanced=&urlonly=&withid=\">LinuxStart</a> - "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://search.1stlinuxsearch.com/compass?scope=$the_query&ui=sr\">1stLinuxSearch</a> - "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=$the_query\">Google</a> - "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.linuxdownloads.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=$the_query&engine=Downloads\">LinuxDownloads</a> - "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.freshmeat.net/search/?q=$the_query&section=projects\">Freshmeat</a> - "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.justlinux.com/bin/search.pl?key=$the_query\">JustLinux</a>"
."";
} else {
echo "<center>"._NOMATCHES."</center> ";
}
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
}

CHANGE TO:

Code:

echo " <center>"
.""._TRY2SEARCH." \"$the_query\" "._INOTHERSENGINES." "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.altavista.com/web/results?i&q=$the_query\">AltaVista</a> · "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://web.ask.com/web?q=$the_query\">Ask Jeeves</a> · "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.dogpile.com/info.dogpl/search/web/$the_query\">Dogpile</a> · "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://search.go.com/search/searchResults?&search=$the_query\">Go.com</a>"
." "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=$the_query\">Google</a> · "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.hotbot.com/?MT=$the_query\">HotBot</a> · "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://search.lycos.com/default.asp?loc=searchbox&query=$the_query\">Lycos</a> · "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?&q=$the_query\">MSN</a> · "
."<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=$the_query\">Yahoo</a>"
."";
} else {
echo "<center>"._NOMATCHES."</center> ";
}
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
}
