Frequent users of the search features on the main site or Sankaku Channel may be interested in some new functionality enabling searching straight from most major browsers in only two clicks, with no plugins or other devilry required.
Either site can be added to the browser’s standard toolbar search engines with the equivalent to the “add search engine” feature (with the site open in the window), like so:
Sankaku Channel’s tag based navigation and tag autosuggestions are particularly useful when used in this fashion.
Most browsers support adding custom searches with this common standard, especially Firefox, which happens to be what over 60% of visitors to the site use, along with Chrome and IE (currently neck and neck for 2nd place loser status with about 14% each).
Definite loser browsers Safari and Opera (each with 5%) do not support custom searches using this method, so users may wish to ditch them in favour of a quality browser like IE.
Autosuggestions are also available from the mini-browser’s search form (top left of this page), and from the search field on the Channel proper, with no action required. These also display the number of posts carrying a particular tag.
The search page for the main site (the form is at the top of every page as well) also offers the ability to conduct several different types of searches, currently without autosuggestions.
I guess Conkeror doesn’t like tag usage in tagsearch.php output, e.g.
[“nolo”, [ “chronolog”, “technology”, “noloty”, “nologo”, “tachnology”, “mikunologie_(vocaloid)”], “39”, “31”, “6”, “2”, “1”, “1”]
versus
[“nolo”, [ “chronolog”, “technology”, “noloty”, “nologo”, “tachnology”, “mikunologie_(vocaloid)”]]
Can someone confirm that it does work without those numbers?
Looks like it was fixed. http://repo.or.cz/w/conkeror.git/commitdiff/e282ee4

“Definite loser browsers Safari and Opera (each with 5%) do not support custom searches using this method, so users may wish to ditch them in favour of a quality browser like IE.”
Wow. At least try do a little more search before making incorrect statements like that. Opera has custom search since… far too many years ago, and it is also the first browser with the feature.
People are just too dumb to realize majority of the “new” things by Firefox and Chrome are copied from existing Opera features.
firefox is s♥♥t that crashes every few minutes
BUT LOL UR COMPUTER IS s♥♥t
YOUR FACE IS s♥♥t
Firefox, sadly, stuck with a single-process blob for _far_ too long, which amusingly made even IE more stable at least as far back as IE8. That’s why FF crashed so often back then; since everything was in a single process, any one tab or extension crashing brought down the entire thing. Multiprocess is more resource-intensive, yes, but anything that crashes only brings itself (and anything in the same process) down, without killing the entire browser.
Awesome 😉
