- Short: V1.01 Search IBrowse cache hotlist GHist
- Uploader: bscott@odyssey.apana.org.au
- Author: bscott@odyssey.apana.org.au
- Type: comm/www
- Requires: AWNPipe, rexxsupport.library, IBrowse 1+?
- If using IBv2+ the ADOS commands list and search.
- You must have Class Act installed or be using ADOS 3.5.
-
- This has only been tested on the IBrowse V1.22 & V2+ 68020 versions.
- Only GlobalCache & hotlist searching is available with IBrowse version 2+.
-
- See Changes to V1.02 below.
-
- Find AWNPipe here: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/awnpipe/
- and ClassAct here: http://www.amitrix.com/AWeb30ca.lha
- Both are quite painless to install.
-
- IBSearch.ibrx provides simple searching of either IBrowse's GlobalCache,
- hotlist or GlobalHistory.
- It can also search the hotlist for the current url (except IBV2.2-).
-
- There is no wildcard searching, it just looks for whatever you type.
-
- Put IBSearch.ibrx either in the IBrowse/ARexx/ directory or in the
- same directory as IBrowse and run it from the IBrowse Rexx menu.
-
- It can be used without IBrowse running, eg. from a Dopus menu.
-
- It consists of a window containing a list window, 3 buttons and a
- string gadget.
-
- You instigate a search by typing something in the string gadget and
- pressing return.
-
- The search results are presented in the list window.
- Double click on one and IBrowse will attempt to load it.
-
- Edit a line in the list by clicking once, waiting longer than a
- double click before clicking once more. You can then use RAmiga-C
- to copy the line to the clipboard for pasting somewhere else.
- To finish editing press return or the right mouse button. You still
- need to double click on it to load it into IBrowse.
-
- There is a button for choosing in which file to search. The choices
- are either the Cache (GlobalCache), hotlist (ibrowse-hotlist.html)
- or GlobalHist (GlobalHistory). If you are using IBrowseV2+ then only
- the Cache & hotlist will be available.
-
- The button below that one acts as a toggle to remove/replace picture
- urls (.gif's and .jpg's) in the listing. If there are no picture urls
- or the listing is full of nothing but pic urls then it does nothing.
-
- Click the 'Find current URL in hotlist' button to see if the current url
- is in your hotlist. If it is found it will appear in the list window.
- This won't work with IBrowse2.2, it's arexx 'QUERY URL' is broken.
-
- To quit just select the window close gadget.
-
- Cache search results from IBrowse versions lower the V2 that don't end
- in a typical .jpg, .gif or .html get the mime type added to the end eg.
- (image/gif) so you know what you are dealing with.
-
- Hotlist search results get your site discription tacked on the end.
-
- Nothing gets added to the GlobalHistory search results.
-
- NOTE:
- Because of the fast search method I'm using -with IBrowse versions
- lower than V2- (instead of searching line by line) there is some
- text you can't search for..
-
- (Applies only to IBrowse V1.22 & possibly lower)
- When searching the Cache neither numbers nor any of these..
- 'TEXT/PLAIN.HTML.JPEG.IMAGE.PNG' can be searched for.
-
- (Applies to both versions)
- When searching the hotlist neither numbers nor any of these..
- 'BHLFLAGS=NOMENU' can be searched for.
-
- You get warned if you try searching for any of these reserved texts.
- If you end up with a strange list then you've probably found some
- other text it doesn't get on with, let me know what text it was.
-
- GlobalHistory is ok for searching for anything.

- -----------------------------------------
-
- Changes to V1.02;
- * Included Cache searching (albeit a slower method) for IBv2.2.
- * Replaced case sensitive button with remove/replace picture-listings
- button.
- * If IB is not running and an item in the listing is selected for
- loading which causes IB to open onto another screen, IBSearch
- closes and re-opens onto the IB screen.
- * With IBv2.2; if an item from a cache search is selected but the IB
- cache system can't find it and there's no TCP: an attempt to load
- it as a local file is made. Any links on a web page will be useless
- here but it's still handy if you just want to view that item.
-
- Changes to V1.01;
- * If IBSearch is executed while it is already running it's window
- is brought forward and made active.
- * If run while using IBrowse2 the chooser button is not included
- and IBSearch.ibrx becomes just a Hotlist only searcher.
- * Made results in listing editable.
- * Fixed: If a result to be listed contained a '|' IBSearch would
- quit with an error.
- * Fixed: Incorrect results would occur if the word 'ibrowse' was
- searched for.
