Multi_Search
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
A desktop search widget for superkaramba.
This has been completely re-written from the ground up. No new features were added, but it is more stable, better structured, and I fixed a few issues.
Requirements:
-------------
wxPython
BeautifulSoup
What It Does:
-------------
This widget allows one to search almost any search engine right from their desktop. It also gives the ability to run terminal commands. The theme launches the search in your default browser(setup in the right click Configure Multi_Search menu). Click on the icon to the left of the searchbox to change the search engine.
You can add your own search engines to the widget through the right click Configure Multi_Search. This will take a search url and add it and it's associated favicon, if it has one, to your widget.
You also have the ability edit and remove existing search engines and change the icon for a search engine.
There are also 8 backgrounds to choose from which can be found in the right click Configure Theme menu.
If anyone has any problems, comments, or ideas I would be glad to hear them.
Thanks:
-------
Thanks to kde-look user gryphen for the go button images and several of the backgrounds

/home/your_user_name/.superkaramba/multi_search
Here there should be a folder named search_icons. If that is not present you will need to extract it from the .skz theme file by unzipping that folder. Let me know what you find.
You can use my email address to contact me, aaronjg at gmail dot com

You should open the file /home/Insert_Your_User_Name_Here/.superkaramba/multi_search/engines.dat
Each line in the file is one of your search engines. Make sure that they are pointing to the right path, aka /home/Your_User_Name/.superkaramba/multi_search/search_icons/google.png
IF they are not then edit/save the file.

http://dict.leo.org/frde?search=$
http://dict.leo.org/esde?search=$
However, after I added one of them, I cannot add others. Maybe because multi_search thinks they are the same and doesn't want to make double entries?
Notice also how, on those three different sites, the favicon.ico changes. multi_search always only retrieves the default one, which would make the three impossible to distinguish even if they could be added all three to the widget.
It would be nice to have support for this :-)

1) Add the first engine(http://dict.leo.org/ende?search=$) then go to the manage tab and change the name to say Leo-English, or whatever name you would like to help you distinguish that this is the english version.
2) Now go back and add the 2nd one and change it's display name, as well as the 3rd.
3) Finally use the website http://converticon.com to convert the french and german favicons to pngs. Then you can easily set the icon for the french and english through the manage search engines tab by clicking on the existing icon, and then navigating to the saved png.
Let me know if you have any questions in this process.

I've tried adding the demonoid link, and an icon for it. But somehow now only a few of the search engines are showing (only 4). I didn't delete any of them. And the demonoid isn't.
I can't open the searchengine manager anymore. It's just not responding.
I think it has to do with the icon I chose for Demonoid. I've made a 16x16 png with the logo from Demonoid.com
