Re: TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

First, thanks for nice app. It makes life easer!

I noticed a minor but very annoying issue in UI. When you scroll desktop keeping your finger on TouchSearch widget (accidentally) it triggers while should not. All other desktop widget and shortcuts do not triger while scrolling. I am running recent firmware and TouchSearch 2.1-2. Is it known issue or should I report this?

It is a known and reported issue and will be fixed in the next version! :)

Re: TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

Is the source code available anywhere? I'm interested to see that how this is coded.

Edit: found this a minute later: http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...t/touchsearch/ :p

Just noticed with touchsearch 2.1-2 that when I pan across desktop the touchsearch is the only widget/shortcut that reacts directly to just tap down. Normally widgest and shortcuts react when you tap and raise your finger.

Problem is that right now it interferes the desktop panning.

When I input queries in the deafault google search engine touchsearch takes me to a result page that seems to be produced by having clicked on an adsense page. I don't seem to get the standard classic or mobile google results page. I just upgraded to the latest version of touchsearch. Is this behavior expected? Is this a way for the author to get adsense revenue? I also noted that I cannot edit or delete the google engine settings.
Please advise. Thanks.

Yes, that's a known issue that will be fixed in the next release. :)

Hi,

Yes, TouchSearch uses google.com/custom to search the web. This is the same service that many websites and other desktop widgets use to search.

I explained why I did this in more detail in this thread.

It is not uncommon for desktop widgets to use google.com/custom for this purpose, even on other platforms. A quick search turns up these Yahoo Widgets:

http://widgets.yahoo.com/widgets/mini-google-search

http://widgets.yahoo.com/widgets/your-google

etc.

Thanks for the response and thanks for a great application!

Re: TouchSearch for Fremantle
 

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?
