Scroogle search URL filter

[Oddysey]

Siamesecat;

The reason the slash disappeared is due to a fault within the MyBB software itself. Even if you use the quote or code tags, you need to prepend another slash in order to make the desired slash show up. (Just like you would do in a Proxo filter.) However, using the php tag will display a single slash correctly, no additional one needed. Unfortunately, this tag makes most of the remaining text Ugly, with a capital U.

I escaped the quote marks out of habit. It seems that about half the time a filter doesn't work for me, it's usually due to my forgetting to escape something. While it's extra typing if the slashes aren't needed, I've just gotten into the habit, that's all.

I find it interesting that I can type the Scroogle script address into the address bar, with one or more parameters, and the search will work. But, if I try to do that from a filter, the search breaks. I have no idea why that is. But as an aside, I do note that when I send a query, the address bar reflects %20 wherever there was a space. Hmmmm, I wonder what would happen if I make Proxo insert that figure instead of spaces.......

I am under the impression that Fox's plugins can be made by users, is that so? Then, can't a plugin be reverse engineered by another user? Can you dig into your particular Scroogle plugin, and see what's going on that makes it work? It'd be nice to know. >:]
