Some Q&A

  • Can I exclude certain parts of my page from showing Searchamabob?

    Sure! Just surround the text with a span/div element with the ID "no_searchamabob". For example:

    <span id="no_searchamabob">No Searchamabob here...</span>

  • Can I add predefined search engines to Searchamabob?

    You can add as many predefined search engines to Searchamabob as you like.
    Simply add the following code before the the Searchamabob javascript line:

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
      g_customEngines = new Array();
      g_customEngines[0] = "Replace with the description , http://www.SearchEngine.com/<term>";
    </SCRIPT>

    Each element in "g_customEngines" is your definition of a search engine. The name and address of the engine, is separated by a comma. Set the right description of the engine, and replace the URL with the one you want. The <term> tag will be replaced with the search query the user selected.
