Find And Run Robot / Re: Using FARR with custom Opera (9b2) searches

« on: July 30, 2006, 12:37 PM »

gaikokujinkyofusho notice that i have something written in the "optional regular expression" field. You need that.
If you write something like:
^opera (.*)
It'll work just as you mentioned. Writing opera g foobar in farr will make a google search for foobar.

Actually i do have that:

Group Alias Name: opera
Optional Regular Expression Pattern: ^opera (.*)
Results, programs, etc: opera in opera |  "C:\Program Files\Internet\Opera9p2\opera.exe" "$$1"

I have tried variations like:

opera in opera |  C:\Program Files\Internet\Opera9p2\opera.exe "$$1"

and

^o (.*)

but still nada.

Ok... Here's a way to create a group alias, that you can type:

o g foobar

and it'll search for foobar in opera. This will work for everything defined in opera.
Remember that you'll have to change the path to the path where you have opera installed. I you'd like to use another prefix, just replace 'o' for anything else. (leave the ^ at the beggining of the prefix).

Hi, i posted about this and eventually got it working (thanks to the forums help). I could have *Sworn* i backed up the .ini but apparently it was the old one and not the modified one (doh!!!). So now i am back to where i started.

I have created a "opera" group in FARR using the syntax you did:

opera in opera |  "C:\Program Files\Internet\Opera9p2\opera.exe" "$$1"

(I have tried it w/o quotes too). but when i try to type something like "opera g searchwords" it gives me "found 0 matching files". I think i had this problem before but i can't for the life of me remember how it was resolved. Any ideas?

Find And Run Robot / Using FARR with custom Opera (9b2) searches

« on: June 07, 2006, 06:19 PM »

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to "send" opera searches from FARR, that is be able to type something like:

www g search-term

And have it open opera up in google looking for "search-term" (though i have a bunch of others, not just google). It seems kind of redundant to put in all the searches i use in opera into FARR as well, when it would be much easier to just be able to type something out in FARR and have it use opera's search terms. I am sure this is possible but i just haven't been able to figure out how.  Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

Find And Run Robot / Re: FaRR running slowly?

« on: March 09, 2006, 07:59 AM »

ah ha! i never thought about if it was just the first time (after a bit of disuse). So apparently this is the feature mouser was talking about. I am *all* for saving memory, but not in something as often used as FaRR, so yeah an option to turn the memory saving on/off would be great! Thanks to all for the help!

cheers

Find And Run Robot / FaRR running slowly?

« on: March 08, 2006, 02:48 PM »

Hi, i am *loving* FaRR (and trying to figure out aliases etc, save that for another post) but it *seems* to be running slowly on my computer (mobile P4 2.6 +512mem, not a speed demon but not a slug either). I get as much as a 2 second delay from the time i press the trigger key and when it shows up, thats slow right? I am using the itunes/mac skin and the "use helper tray" is disabled. I can speed it up by opening the windows task manager and setting the FaRR process to real-time priority but i shouldn't have to do that right? Is there anything else i can do to speed it up? (if not, do you happen to know how to permanently set a app to run with a higher process priority?)

Cheers
