Description

Many web browsers on other platforms are sprouting dedicated "search"
gadgets. PopSearch brings similar functionality to IBrowse, AWeb and
Voyager in the form of a small pop-up window that can be assigned to a
fast link button or toolbar icon. PopSearch allows you to enter search
terms or paste them in from the clip board. It can be configured to use
a variety of search engines.

Features

* Perform Internet searches without waiting for the search engine front
  page to load.
* MUI interface implemented using rxMUI (my first (releaseable) rxMUI
  application).
* Supports IBrowse, AWeb and Voyager (I use IBrowse mostly so bug
  reports from AWeb and V users are especially welcome).
* Paste in search term from the clipboard.
* Select the search engine to use from a list.
* Users can add additional search engines to the configuration file.
* A search engine can be set as the default for quick searching.
* A drop-down list enables you to quickly recall previously used search
  terms.

Requires

IBrowse, AWeb or Voyager - Most testing has been carried out with
                           IBrowse 2.3.
rxMUI - http://web.tiscali.it/no-redirect-tiscali/amiga - Tested with
        version 32.9.
rexxtricks.library (download from Aminet) - Used to read the clipboard.
