Scroogle search URL filter

[Oddysey]

Siamesecat;

I modified your filter in two ways. First, the query string was simply "h", and it needed a backslash to make it use the matching portion of the string. (See Proxo's Help/MatchingCharacterReference page, if this doesn't make sense). Second, in order to relieve the user of having to remember to use quotes to surround multiple search parameters, I added them into the query string, like so:

URL = "[^./]+/(^?)&\w[a-z]&$JUMP(http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi/search?q=\\"\h\")"

But you know, I can't help but feel that this whole thing is more or less "re-inventing the wheel". You do realize that Scott included a filter in the default set that does this very thing, don't you? All you need to do is preface your query string with a period, and Presto!, you're home free. Don't like Google? (And it's obvious you want to change to Scroogle here.) Just edit the "catch-all" entry in the URL Alias list, it should be the last line in the file.

Just a thought, that's all.
