Announcements

Searchbastard is Editor's Pick on Download Typhoon [1]

(23 FEB 2012)
Well, getting recognition is nice. But I'm afraid I'm not going to do much more development on Searchbastard. Searchbastard is a great add-on, but the public interest has been modest. I have moved to develop Drupal modules instead. And to philosophy on the possibility that we might be living in a computer simulation. (you didn't see that one coming, now did you?)

Searchbastard has been officially approved on addons.mozilla.org

(16 JUL 2010)
Searchbastard is now approved for all audiences. This is good news, because hopefully it means an increased number of users, and perhaps this will result in an increased number of developers / engine developers... One can only hope. Im having a cold beer now!

1.5 released

(28 JUN 2010)
New features since last stable release:

  • Translation: Write ie "en-fr test" in location bar to translate from english to french - or use new "Dictionaries" dropdown, which lets you select between all available combinations. All searchbastard engines that supports the picked combination will appear in a tabbed multisearch. More info, including video available here: Dictionaries functionality
  • Autoupdate for searchbastard engines, and its also possible to subscribe to all available "dictionary engines" (that is: engines that supports the new dictionary functionality)
  • Multisearch-tab improved in various ways: 1) Its much faster, because of a new loading algorithm (See Tab loading algorithm for details). 2) Arrowkeys now also reacts, even though the iframe is not in focus. 3) Iconsize indicates if a tab has loaded (small = not loaded) 4) "No result" tabs are now automatically
  • Its now possible to set up searchbar to behave similar to the firefox "find" feature (that is: it is opened by pressing ie ctrl+shift+f and can quickly be closed again by pressing Esc)!
