[edit] Version 1.4.1
Release date: 24 OCT 2009
File: http://searchbastard.rosell.dk/searchbastard1.4.1.xpi
[edit] Bug fixes
- Arrowkeys in multisearch-tabs wasn't working properly (tabs lost focus, when content was loaded)
[edit] Version 1.4
Release date: 24 OCT 2009
File: http://searchbastard.rosell.dk/searchbastard1.4.xpi
[edit] New features
In general: A lot of improvements of the tabbed multisearch, making it an attractive option. I now organize my groups, so the group contains an engine and a subgroup. This causes the result to display in two frames. The first frame contains the engine (favourite engine of the group), and the next frame contains a tab-panel which contains the rest of the engines. This way, the two favourite engines will quickly show up. I then repeatedly press the right arrow key to see the content of the other tabs.
- Tabs in multisearch-tabs are now icons (much better for panel-search)
- Arrowkeys (right and left) now changes selected tab in multisearch-tabs
- Tabs are now loaded one tab at a time, which in effect causes the first tab to display faster
- Tabbed multisearch is now default inside a framed multisearch (frames within frames are usually not what you want - if it is, then you can override default on group properties, as usual)
[edit] Bug fixes
- Add to group didn't work in settings
[edit] Version 1.4b2
Release date: 20 SEP 2009
File: http://searchbastard.rosell.dk/searchbastard1.4b2.xpi
[edit] New features
- Middleclick events. Middleclick on an engine to open it in new tab (similar to firefox bookmarks)
[edit] Bug fixes
- Dropdown groups wouldn't open, after you had opened engine properties
[edit] Version 1.4b1
Release date: 05 SEP 2009
File: http://searchbastard.rosell.dk/searchbastard1.4b1.xpi

[edit] Version 1.4alpha2
Release date: 25 AUG 2009
File: http://searchbastard.rosell.dk/searchbastard1.4alpha2.xpi
[edit] Whats new?
- Export now exports in XML format
- FF 3.0 compatible (1.4alpha1 was not)
- Bottombar now closes when Esc is pressed, also when Selection search is disabled
- Prefixes is now less confusing
[edit] Known issues

[edit] Version 1.4alpha1
Release date: 25 JUN 2009
File: http://searchbastard.rosell.dk/searchbastard1.4alpha1.xpi
Note: This is only recommended for testers. Make sure to export the preferences before installing. If things go wrong, and you can't even open Settings, do this: Locate "searchbastard settings" in the functions menu, and right-click on it. This brings up "Reset settings". Btw: This version only works in FF3.5, but 1.4 will also support FF3.0
[edit] Whats new?
- Unicode. Engines, aliases and prefixes can now contain any unicode characters. Russian letters, for example. фыва
- Objects are now serialized to JSON instead of uneval.
- Almost no more potentially unsafe eval() calls (eval() is still used when old datastructure needs to be parsed, which happens the first time v1.4 is run, and when old preferences are imported. In order not to bug users with warnings, as everybody needs the first-time upgrade, this will be done without warning. In next release, no eval() will be called without user accept).
- Code is namespaced, minimizing risk of collusion with other add-ons
