I'm sure that I saw a search page that was using Google search for
searching WikiEducator - next to the search term input box there were
radio buttons for WikiEducator only or the full Google web search.

It was great, but I can't find it again. Does anyone know what the
link is?

I would love to see this as an alternative to the regular WE search in
the left navigation menu, which I find to be frustratingly un-helpful
most of the time.

Thanks
..Valerie

Hi Valerie,

While you are searching the Google search page with a radio button for
WE -- in the mean time you can just include "Wikieducator" in your
search term.

Cheers
Wayne

See [[User:Kruhly]]

It is some javascript -- possibly in User:YourUsername/common.js or
user.js I will look in more detail shortly.

Hi Valerie,

Navigate to User:Kruhly/monobook.js

Copy the javascript from line one up to and including:

addOnloadHook(install_search);


I think the placement of the carriage returns are important.

Paste into User:<YourUserName>/monobook.js

Save and by-pass your browser's cache by following the instructions at
top of the page.

Let me know if this does not work for you.

Regards,

Rob
