Ealric Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) GoogleHack Version 2.1.0-- Completely skinned the GUI.-- Added Buttons for all major controls-- Removed the Title bar and the Menu bar-- Packaged the GUI into an .exe distribution file.-- Included all buttons, images, and PSD files.-- Interface allows movable dragging.GoogleHack is now completely skinned. The download link is in the first post along with the new screenshot of the app. Please note the following:The .exe file is a "setup distribution file". This means that it will prompt you for where you want to install the application which includes the following:Source .au3 file (yes the source file is still included)All image files used in the appAll PSD files used in the app (yes you can use or modify them as you please)All ICO files used in the appIf you've been using the program, just copy your sites and your query files over to the new location and they will be available for use.One note on the new buttons on the right. I haven't updated the tips for those but they are the following:Green Go button is the "Query" button to perform your query.Question Mark takes you to the about menu.Information takes you to the change log.The pen and pad take you to the preferences.The bottom button turns the bottom status bar on or off per click.The red-x is the close button.The red-underscore is the minimize button.You can drag the interface from any part of the GUI (minus from embedded controls like edit, listviews, buttons, etc.Note: The download from trashbin sometimes takes awhile to initiate. Just be patient and it will begin within 90 seconds.As always, I would still appreciate any comments on the app - namely suggestions, improvements, bug reports, etc.Enjoy.

Ealric Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 No problem mate - trashbin seems to take a moment once you download to initiate the download. Glad it worked out for you.

Ealric Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm thinking of creating a pinned feature to the GUI so that when you click it, the GUI is altered and becomes a very small widget type of search box that can sit on top of windows at the bottom of the task bar. Just curious if anyone has any input or feedback concerning this type of feature.

SpookMeister Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I like it.

Ealric Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 I like it. Needs to have Firefox support before I start using it more often though It supports Firefox - just change the browser settings in the preferences. If there is something else you are talking about, please elaborate.thanks.

Ealric Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hrm 55 downloads for the new skinned gui and no extended comments, suggestions, feedback or ratings. Either that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Ealric Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 GoogleHack Version 2.2.0-- Made considerable changes to the way custom queries works.-- Old Query formated files will be copied to oldQueries and converted to the new format.-- Queries can now be inserted and all inputs modified. This allows the ability to create default form queries with the all word and phrase fields empty.-- (Custom Shared) Included a Music Finder query file (Music_Finder.qhf) for finding MP3, WMA, OGG file formats. Just include your title in all words or phrases.-- (Custom Shared) Included a Stock Quotes query file (Stock_Quotes.qhf) for finding all stock quotes on Yahoo finance. Just include a stock ticker, company name, or type of stock in all words or phrases.The newest update should be very well liked. It allows you to insert any custom query and then build upon that query at will. I've also inserted two custom query files that I made, one is a music finder and the other is a stock finder. The music finder can do everything that any existing music finder can do but you can also go to advanced options and search by date.Previous downloads on version 2.1.0 was 81! Thanks for the interest.Enjoy.

Ealric Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 [ Version 2.3.0 ]-- Created a new Tiny GUI search box that can be pinned anywhere on the desktop.-- Click the pin button on the main gui to access the tiny gui.-- Click the unpin button to move the tiny gui and repin it to the area by clicking the pin button.-- Pinned areas are stored in the ini preferences as x,y locations and will be remembered, even after the app is closed.-- While in Tiny Gui mode, all boxes from the parent GUI (minus the all words boxes) will be remembered. This gives you an additional ability to used saved queries with the new tiny gui.-- The Default enter key while typing in the tiny gui is used as the control trigger to submit a query. Queries submitted use the windows set default browser.-- This allows you to open multiple tabs without opening a new browser instance while in tiny gui mode.Sorry I work so fast. Two posted versions in the same day! Gotta love it and hate it at the same time. Well, I hope you like the new addition which includes Tiny GUI that allows you to pin a small search box that you can also utilize with your custom queries.Example: Insert your custom query in the main gui, click the pin button to access tiny gui and the custom query parameters as well as advanced options are "saved" and utilized with tiny gui. So, type in your keywords and they are added "in addition" to your custom query. If you use the stock quotes as an example to test with you'll understand what I mean.Enjoy it!

Ealric Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 In the next version, I'm going to be expanding on a couple of the preference options for the main gui. I'm adding an extra preference for browsers to "Use Default" but keeping the other 4 options for IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari in place. The reason why I want to do this is due to browser behavior and functionality with ShellExecute. When using the default browser, ShellExecute will simply open up a URL which will maintain only having one browser window open but utilizing new tabs within that browser. So, no more extra browser windows opening for you if you are using default. However, I want to keep the other options in place because the nice thing about having them is if you want to keep your existing browser (say IE for example) as your default browser but search within Firefox - this still allows you the ability to do that. These preference changes only affect the larger GUI part of the app. I'm also going to add a chm helpfile so that I don't have to update notes on the site. I will continue to run the changelogs, but only in the text file. The helpfile will be accessible from the ? mark. The i button will be used instead for URL directing to Google's official API on the search operators. If there are any other changes you want to suggest, please let me know now while I'm working on the new version. Thanks.

Ealric Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 GoogleHack Version 2.3.1-- Added a preference for "Use Default Browser" which will automatically set the default search browser to your normally used default browser.-- Using default browser settings will enable just "one" browser when searching and additional tabs will be opened in the one browser window.-- Added a GoogleHack.chm helpfile that is accessed by clicking the ( ? ) help button on the main GUI interface.-- The ( i ) information button will now take you to the advanced Google search operators page.The program is receiving a lot of downloads so I appreciate the fact that people are interested. I would also appreciate any comments, suggestions, input, and a rating on the app and its usage.Thanks.

Ealric Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Upcoming for Version 3.0 : I'm going to be adding a third section to GoogleHack which includes everything for Google's Code Search page. With this new addition (still to come) you'll be able to search advanced code snips from any page - cached, compressed, archived, etc. for almost 50 different programming languages. It will take me a solid week to get this next bit in but I wanted to let you know what was up and coming.

Draygoes Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Very nice work friend! You work fast, and produce new versions at a great rate. As long as you keep this up, you will defiantly keep me as a full time user. Spoiler  "If a vegetarian eats vegetables,What the heck does a humanitarian eat?"
