An an aside: How about someone make us a farr alias to search wolfram alpha?-mouser (May 16, 2009, 09:54 AM)
--- End quote ---

as requested by mouser. i realize that their service is still in alpha stage. so this is a good time as any to try out. :)


thanks to [user]hamradio[/user] for the icon.


edit1: fixed the encoding bug, thanks to oioisaveloy.

mouser:
Sorry i didn't reply to this earlier -- great stuff, thank you  :up:

oioisaveloy:
This seems to have a problem with the plus sign: for example 5+6 gives the answer 30  ;D

mouser:
hahaha nice catch oiosaveloy  ;D

lanux, to fix it change the alias from:

--- ---    <AliasEntry>
        <AliasText>WolframAlpha</AliasText>
        <Score>1000</Score>
        <Regex>^wa (.*)</Regex>
        <Results>
            <Result>WolframAlpha: $$1 | http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=$$1 /ICON=icons\wolframalpha.ico</Result>
        </Results>
    </AliasEntry>
to:

--- ---    <AliasEntry>
        <AliasText>WolframAlpha</AliasText>
        <Score>1000</Score>
        <Regex>^wa (.*)</Regex>
        <Results>
            <Result>WolframAlpha: $$1 | http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=$$u1 /ICON=icons\wolframalpha.ico</Result>
        </Results>
    </AliasEntry>

mouser:
the use of $$u1 instead of $$1 when calling the url tells farr to urlencode the arguement which survives the browser call properly.
