Find And Run Robot / Farr Search Aliases- Am I missing something?
« on: October 15, 2008, 02:10 PM »
I am a long timefarr user and a fairly recent DC Member. This is my first post.
Before I start I tried searching for the answer and I am by no means a programmer but I am trying to understand how use farr to create search aliases that work like quick searches in firefox. Basically I am trying to figure out how to translate these kinds of quick searches to Farr from firefox
Here's what I am trying to do. I have a keyword search setup in firefox.
keyword = bk
search string/location = http://www.booksamillion.com/search?id=4226377030213&query=%s&where=Books
I think that I want to replace the %s search criteria with $$1 in Farr. What I can't figure out with farr is how to get it to include the rest of the search string which is not varible when I use this kind of query.
I guess I don't understand enough about FARR and the syntax it uses to get this to work. I hope I am making some sense. Any help is appreciated. I really want to learn and understand how to do these more complex searches in FARR.
Thanks. This is a great site :)
