Forums Scripts & Popups :: searching with google ::

Hello everyone,

Would it be possible if someone could help me with this idea that im hoping will work..

Below is a small bit of code that I have in my aliases and when im in a chan, I just type in this:

/g <item>

<item> = being for example if I was searching Google for MSN

Now this is ok for me, but I want it so if someone else in the chan typed say for example !gs then a box would appear for them, then they would just type in what they wanted to search for in Google, or something like that maybe without the box.

The easiest thing is just to open up IE and do it from there, but if this works then I want to use this for finding .torrent files from a forum on the net. In other words let mIRC do the work for me..



below is the code that I have in my remotes and when used a small box pops up..



but when I type in what I want to search for nothing happens, the only thing that does happen is whatever I type in the box appears in the channel only..

what id like this to do is the following
1. type !gs
2. a box appears and in the box I type what im searching for in Google, for example MSN
3. when I click ok, and IE window appears with the results.

Then all I need to do is send this to others in the chan, they add it to there remotes and then they can use this as well...

Hope you can help me

if this is what you want, here

thank you for the relpy..
Now one small problem thou:
I type in the chan !gs and !gs appears in the chan but nothing else happens

I Type !gs <what im searching for> then the dialog box pops up asking for what I want to search for so again I type <what im searching for> but this time in the box that pops up, then I click ok and an IE window opens up with the results .. great, but its just the bit at the beginning thats needs ironing out if posible, how would this be corrected

The code works great here.. typ !gs serach_word in a channel..

yes, but im talking about when you type !gs <what your searching> in the chan, the dialog box pops up asking you again what you want to search for

What I need it to do is type !gs in the chan, the box pops up asking you what you want to search for, in the box you type in what you want to search for click ok, then an IE window opens up expanded with the results...

on *:input:#:{ if ($1 == !gs) { var %gs $2 | run http://www.google.com/search?q= $+ %gs } }


i think this code may be help you

its !gs text

lol, well if you would have checked it when i very first posted it it worked like !gs text, but then i saw you wanted an input. so i put an input for you. use this if you want !gs text, OR !gs input. if you leave "text" blank, it will ask you for a input. otherwise it searches for what you ask right away.


*edit* also jacksparrows only allows you to search google for one word. the "$2" should be "$2-". GL

sorry jacksparrow2 but thats half of the code missing with what you have posted ??? lol

Zeusbwr: my apologies, works fine now with that new snippet of code, and thankyou to the others for there imput as well.. much appreciated

thnx for the sugestion pal

There is a very nice, long-established Google search script by MEiJ (using sockets) that you can find by clicking here - even if this is not exactly what you want, it may help you work out some problems
