Thank you for this little widget. I havent read thread so sorry if someone else has already made these suggestions.

For me it is too bit too slow to use(too many clicks).How about at least shortcut keywords.

Even better: put above search bar bunch of favoriteicons to launch search with writte term.

In the next version (don't know when that will be, as I haven't even started it yet) there will be many speed-of-use improvements. Hang in there!

BTW, I finally have a 2.x version in testing that I don't think has any more bugs in it. Here's a screenshot:



I had 14 positive votes with 2.0-1 but decided not to promote it to extras because the Edit Search Engine feature was dead on arrival. This should fix that, so if you voted for 2.0-1 please take a minute and vote for 2.1-2, it is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Oh yes, I totally forgot to report that earlier. I am unable to edit or delete Google and my custom MicroBar search engines. When I go to "Configure Search Engines" dialog, Edit and Delete buttons are greyed out on these two engines.

It was happening with previous version, it also happens with the latest 2.1 which I've got as an automatic update this morning.

This has been reported as a bug but it really isn't: Google is non-editable because it is what TouchSearch defaults to in case of a problem. Your search engine currently in use is also uneditable because TS would not be happy if you deleted it

2.1. I have lost googlemaps or maemaps or whatever it is called now. Uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't bring it back. How do I fix this?

The search engine configuration file remains even after uninstall/reinstall.

You can delete it forcing recreation of a new one by running this command in the terminal:

Code:
rm /home/user/.touchsearch/search_engines.data
This will remove all changes you've made via the Configure Search Engine dialog.

OK, makes sense now. However I'd still let user to edit/delete that engine and in case sth goes wrong from TS' point of view (ie user decided to delete that engine) you can always fall back to the default Google engine. It's just a little confusing at first why I can't edit my own custom engine..
