I posted this on another thread before, but this one seems livlier...
I have been hacking my desktop slightly to get the effect below on my searchy/mappy/infoy desktop, 'cos it's nice to have your favorite search sites all available together. To do so, I edited touchsearch.dektop in /usr/share/applications/hildon-home such that the line that read X-Multiple-Instances=false now reads: X-Multiple-Instances=true How necessary this was I dinnae ken. I then copied touchsearch.dektop twice (touchsearch2.dektop and touchsearch3.dektop). The only snag is whenever the device reboots, all instances of the widget change to be the same SE as the last one set. I can only assume the settings are stored in a central touchsearch file which each instance looks to at startup... I have yet to look for it though. Eould it be possible to store the "which SE" gen in the .desktop on a per instance basis? |
Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
Where you fae Tom? also any ideas why my touchsearch has went invisible.
TIA |
Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
Anyone else had problems with Touchsearch going invisible?

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
I like touchsearch a lot, but I would like to be able to edit the default items. when i search on wikipedia i often use my local (swedish) wiki. And it would be nice to do that with touch search without creating a custom search.

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
Very useful app, many thanks to the developer.
Does anyone know where in the system the .png files for the stock search engines are please? I wanted to add the two google ones to the google.co.uk and googlemaps/m searches I've added but haven't been able to find them. Quote:

I could select it to add it on the desktop but it doesn't appear anywhere! But it disappears from the availible widgets. In the beginning it worked but someday :confused: |
Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
I have the same problem. Widget not visible, i have reflashed my device and removed the search database, reinstalled the app but it will not show on the desktop.

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
I also have the "invisible widget" problem. I add it to the desktop and I can only see the settings icon (wrench) and the close icon (X).
Thought I was the only one. I also realized I still had this problem after a reflash. |

This doesn't sound good, especially since it won't work even after a reflash. What version are you installing? Did it ever work? When did it stop working? After installation, could you list the output of these commands: dpkg -S touchsearch ls -a /home/user/.touchsearch/ Was TouchSearch the first thing you tried installing after the refresh? Thanks! |

It worked fine for awhile. I can't recall when it stopped working. perhaps when I was working on making a custom thumbnail (never got that to work by the way and followed instructions letter for letter). After the recent reflash I installed everything in mass-installation mode using the backup app. so I doubt it was the first app to get on there. here's the output: Nokia-N900-02-8:~# dpkg -S touchsearch touchsearch: /usr/share/applications/hildon-home/touchsearch.desktop touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/google_maps.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/default.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/youtube.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/imdb.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/imdb.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/.directory touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/general_shopping.png touchsearch: /usr/share/doc/touchsearch touchsearch: /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/touchsearch.py touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/google.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/google_maps.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/youtube.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/wikipedia.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/icon.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/google.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/webmd.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/amazon.png touchsearch: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/touchsearch-1.3.egg-info touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch touchsearch: /usr/share/doc/touchsearch/changelog.Debian touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/quickbar.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/amazon.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/default.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/wikipedia.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/webmd.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/select_search_engine_color.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/ebay.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/general_shopping.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/ebay.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/quickbar.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/select_search_engine_ghosted.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/color/dictionary.png touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/.directory touchsearch: /usr/share/touchsearch/ghosted/dictionary.png 2nd command: search_engines.data settings.conf |

rm -rf /home/user/.touchsearch/ Reboot, and see if this helps. Concerning user-added search engines, that could have very well "broken" your TouchSearch. This is one of the many reasons I will be removing that feature in the next version. What I will be having in it's place is the ability to install search engines from touchsearch.org. There will be a "Search Engine Developer API" that people can use to develop search engines, and touchsearch.org will act as the testing and distribution source. This will make it easier for end-users to have a wide selection of search engines, while not requiring them to get down in the nitty gritty of the process. Unfortunately, the next version probably won't be released until summertime (it will be a complete rewrite, so it'll take a while). |
Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
To fix the problem of invisible desktop type thingy you need to delete all of TouchSearch's settings.
To do this open the X-Terminal application and issue these two commands: rm /home/user/.touchsearch/search_engines.data rm /home/user/.touchsearch/settings.conf Then reinstall, reboot. Hope this helps and works for you, it did for me. |
Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
[QUOTE=BrentDC;573531]Everything looks like it is installed OK. The only thing I can suggest is roving TouchSearch's settings dir:
rm -rf /home/user/.touchsearch/ Reboot, and see if this helps. Worked for me, Thanks!! |
Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
I'm glad it is working for everyone again!
A few days ago I released a new version to -testing that has, along with a few new features, an option to reset your search engine database. So if it is not appearing on the Desktop, you can go into the Desktop edit menu, click the wrench icon for TS, Configure, then Reset. This should get you up and running without the need to enter commands in X-Terminal. :o |
Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
Thanks guys! working again. I missed it!!!

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
Having strange issue with TouchSearch 2.2 - I can't edit existing search engines. Basically when I see list of search engines, select any and press Edit button, nothing happens. Note that I did do "merge" once v2.2 was installed.
Suggestions? |

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
Great app BrentDC, I really need to get around to donating.. I have your name on a list of people to donate to in MaePad but I need to get the money first (waiting on the next paycheck) and have time (this school semester has been busy).
This is probably unrelated but I was thinking of this idea the other day. It's a shame that your application has to be a seperate widget due to the way Nokia designed the type to search feature on the hildon-desktop. As it is now you only get your contacts. I was thinking how wonderful it would be if Nokia made it so you could type to search and your shown a list of possible actions.. - Contacts (as it is now) - Searches (Google, Wikipedia, etc..) configured - Files on the N900 - E.g. other functionality (such as status updates you can type in and send to Twitter, Facebook, etc..) Of course this would be modular (the user could re-order and put in and take out what they wanted). Oh well, in my dreams I guess. As it is now, to use the widget I have to scroll to the desktop it's on. I think the only thing that could improve the app off the top of my head is to be able to keep a small history of say your last 5 or so searches. |

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
I just uploaded a new version of TouchSearch to extras-testing. This new version fixes the problem with the Edit button not working in the Customize Search Engine dialog.
It is also recommended that you Reset you search-engine database (especially if you've made no changes). To do this, go to: TouchSearch's options > Configure > Reset > Yes This should get everything running smoothly again, but will undo all customizations to your search engines. Testing page here: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...hsearch/2.2-2/ Please vote it up so that I can replace the version in extras with the bug. Thanks! |

In the default database Wikipedia is "w", Ebay is "e" and the most characters used in a prefix is Google Maps "gm". Is this OK? |

Re: [Announce] TouchSearch for Fremantle
I think this APP is one of the best on the Nokia N900!!
Is it possible to make this application multi-functional? For example, I was thinking this would be great if Facebook Status Update was part of it? instead of using other apps like mstatus etc. Just a thought... THANKS |

But what comes up when that arrow button is pressed is a little harder. From what I can tell, it's a GTK popup window with a HildonTouchSelector as its container. I did promise conny that I'd work on making a HildonFindToolbar that uses HeArrowedEntry + whatever the browser does for that window. Maybe it's time to get off my *** and actually do it... |

Please let me know if you come up with anything cool (and easily translatable to python! ;)). I would very much appreciate it, as history support has been the last major "I-want-to-do-this-but-don't know-how" entry in my todo list for TouchSearch. |
