Yes, I understand. There may be a different mechanism in the next version that recognizes you edited or deleted the search engine in use and defaults back to Google.

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.
Perfect. Thx!

I get this kind of error when entering anything in the GoogleMaps (MaeMaps) search bar, in this example "los angeles." When I enter it manually on the tomch.com site it works correctly. Any ideas?



I would still prefer the "real" google maps/m as the search engine, but cannot seem to add it. Anyone feel ike posting the correct strings?

I will be switching to Google Maps Mobile in the next version.

For now, the string is http://www.google.com/maps/m#ll=&q=%s

Use %s as the query.

Brent: Could you branch a 2nd version that would be kind of "TouchSearchBar"? I find myself using about the same 5 searches daily, and having a horizontal bar widget with these 5 icons but be VERY handy.

Just thinking about something like that yesterday -- I might make a new branch or maybe build different layouts right into TS.

Time frame probably two versions from now.

Hmmm... search enters successfully, but a search doesn't actually launch the browser, i.e., nothing happens.

What exactly did you put in the URL and query fields?

It is working fine here.

Thanks.
