?Google Search?

[skidpanda]

Is there anyway of having a input text file submit information to the google search engine automatically.

User would enter the info, press a button, a new window would open showing search results..

If not is there anyway of entering search data, then loading the google window with the search criteria already entered into the google text field?

I saw a.fla on flashkit that did the first thing ^ but it doesnt seem to work anymore - it just comes up with a blank google window.

Thanks for any help,

Skid :eye: :crazy:

on(release){
getURL("http://www.google.com/search?q=" + escape(inputField.text), "_blank")
}


where inputField is the instance name of the input field you wish to give a google search for

a="I'm @ home";
trace (escape(a));returns I%27m%20%40%20home.
It's just formatting.

Is there anyway I can make it use the google images seach instead of the normal seach?

[Macro-design]

I just figured out how to do that, just had to look at the url... I've changed the path, and then I've also made it release on keyPress, so if you press enter it seaches to.

on(release, keyPress"<Enter>"){
getURL("http://images.google.dk/images?q=" + escape(inputField.text), "_blank")
}

how to do a flash search like above kirupa site header .
when I seach I found the url is "search/atomz.........."
I like google.how can I do a search like kirupa's flash search.and only search my domain name.

Thanks a lot.

Well, you need your site to be indexed in google, then you do this:
on(release){
getURL("http://www.google.com/search?q=" + escape(inputField.text+" site:www.yoursite.com"), "_blank")
}

Thanks for the info :) Very very useful to know !

[Lewwy]

hmm, for some reason.. when I try to do this, whatever I type in the input box, google searches 'undefined' :(

anyone know why?

[hl]

why is this in the best of kirupa?

[Lewwy]

Cause its a problem thats been solved, and its quite cool..

But google still comes up as 'undefined'?

[Macro-design]

If you could post either you AS or .fla file, it would be a big help.

But check the instance name, that's - I guess - would be the most likely error.

i was thinking the same thing.... but well it's a post from 2005.

Actually for searchs using google we can use the google ajax api where we can search:
Web Search
Local Search
Video Search
Blog Search
News Search
Book Search
Image Search
Patent Search

Here you can find a class that implements this services (added the posibility to get the weather with google).
