General Software Discussion / Re: Mozilla Ubiquity Prototype Available

What can I say? an important new way?
i can do everything the man does in the video just using FARR, with a little help of AutoHotKey. The only thing this so called "Ubiquity" does while other launchers don't is the ability to directly control Firefox, which can be done easily with AutoHotKey.

Thanks lanux128, good solution!  I know AHK can do this. Is there anything AHK can't do?

should i change +sall to +a
seems like it might be something common enough to make easier to type..

-mouser (August 21, 2008, 12:15 PM)

+a +1
It might be even better if you add a visual button to farr's interface
but since farr is a launcher not a desktop search tool, the "+a" way is nice and acceptable

Hi,
I have a qustion here

As you can see, farr suggested that there are 11 results, but only gives the first 9 of them,  what can i do if i want to see more results?
i'm aware of the option "Max. entries to display in extended results list:", so how to acess "extended results list"?
Thanks

I feel it is faster and easier to set up (keywords).

I think it's probably true that FARR needs to make it easier to add new keywords.

-mouser (August 20, 2008, 07:18 AM)

I think so :-) the aliases is somehow hard to confige for me. BUT even with no configuration, FARR does everything i need. I just think maybe mouser should take some time write a quick tutorial (or video) to let more people know FARR.

i solve the problem, i just notice that i input "$$1|" instead of "$$1", which makes this aliase doesn't work at all

yet somehow i start wondering these days about if FARR can support "special characters" in “hotkey configuration”-“Test for search edit box”, for example,character“\n”stands for user press "enter".
i set win+N brings up FARR with "run notepad" in search edit box, but still i need to press "enter" , but if FARR has the abality to understand "run notepad\n", win+N will brings notepad instantly,“Microsoft Office Word\n”then win+W brings FARR and FARR opens WORD automatically,which could be an amazing new feature of FARR with endless possibilities.

hope my suggestion helpful

Hmmm.....Actually i don't like indexing, it just slowes down my computer...
i think quick non-indexing search is FARR's advantage and feature, that's why i choose it.

or maybe there are other solutions--
1. when no matches, simply add "run " before the word, in this way FARR can replace win+R , and in the future put "run (keyword)" into the searching list
or
2. maintain a build-in list doing following things:
notepad          -run notepad
cmd                -run cmd
calc                 -run calc
paint               -run mspaint
msconfig          -run msconfig
regedit            -run regedit
shutdown        -shutdown computer
reboot             -reboot computer

i know it's easy to config FARR to do the aboves, JUST thinking of build-in these things would be better


question: can i set the hotkeys to forms like "shift"+"alt" or double press "ctrl"???because in laptops there is no "Break" key, the "Break"="Fn"+"Delete", which are faraway from each other... i think  double press a single key might be a better way

actually FARR works perfect to me   just hoping FARR to be more perfect

Great software
1. I hope FARR can put search bar into the taskbar, like google desktop does

2.hope FARR also searches the target file name of a .lnk file.
For example, when I type "notepad", FARR did not list the windows notepad, because in my chinese system this .lnk is called "记事本",
same to the "calc.exe".
of course i can change the filename of the .lnks, or change settings in FARR., but wouldn't it be nice that FARR can automatically searches the target file names of start menu?

best wishes, i love this tool! great job:D
