I can't wait for 0.7 to come out! I recently discovered AcidSearch and have become completely dependant on it, imagine my horror when I fire up my Intel Mini to find it no longer works!!
I nearly burst into tears!! Seriously though, I can't wait to get hold of the new version and to test it for you!

If you need a beta tester for both PPC and x86, let me know. Absolutely love your plugin.

as with me, more than happy to beta test for you, its one of my favorite apps of all times.

Hear, hear! Safari just doesn't cut it without AcidSearch!

I check MacUpdate daily just in case the auto e-mail hasn't been sent yet, and the Universal AcidSearch is available....

If you need a beta tester on an Intel chip, just let me know. : )

Well I can't wait for 0.7. Recently got a MacBook Pro and am eager to use find-as-you-type in Safari, something I just cannot live without. Looking forward to the UB ;)

How is this update coming along? Universal support is much anticipated by myself and many others. I know i will be making a donation when it does come out!

ATm i am running safari under emulation (Rosetta) just so i can still use AcidSearch, however it is painful at times.

Yes, I've been waiting for a year for an update of Acidsearch. In the mean time, other options keep growing on me, as Inquisitor. It is not free (donationware), but it really nice, modern and intuitive.

What I would like to see in Acidsearch 0.7 :

- A really functional "search as you type" : A sleeker interface, and the possibility of highlighting all the occurrences of the searched word

- A history of searches, and an autocomplete feature

Thanks for your unique work!!!

Thank you for all of your dilligent work on AcidSearch!

I have really enjoyed previous versions of AcidSearch, your Safari search box enhancement.

After having installed your AcidSearch - 0.62, my Safari locks up and the mouse freezes, necessitating a system re-boot.

Lately, after AcidSearch installation, Safari and my mouse freeze up. Each time when I check the Safari browsing history the last site, one that I never choose to navigate to, is listed as "repisitory.html". When, after re-booting, I open Safari to this site it takes me to the following address:

file:///Users/MyName/Library/Application%20Support/SIMBL/Plugins/AcidSearch.bundle/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/repository.html

Clicking on the Robin Hamilton-Pennell link shown there leads to emailing you, the AcidSearch author, at the email address listed .

Is this also a means of spy ware?

The message that the "repository.html" leads me to is:

"Welcome to the Search Channel Repository!
The search channel repository is a community where you can share channels you have created with others. To add a channel to your own Search Channel list, simply drag the channel from the repository into your own Search Channels list.
© 2005 Robin Hamilton-Pennell."

Each time Safari and my mouse freeze up the Safari history shows "repository.html" as the last site visited. This leads me directly to you.

Thank you for looking into improving this very useful search mode selector for Safari!

I'd really like to see another version from scratch. Actual 0.62 kills geektools output of console.log. Seems that the XML of the predefined Channels causes the crash. Is there a workaround to disable these predifend Channels?

best regards Stefan

Yep, using AcidSearch 0.62 on a MacBook Pro with Safari 2.0.4 results in an insanely big dump (>210KB) to the console.log:

'2006-07-04 14:25:17.260 Safari[307] tempStr: ...' --

I'd be happy to help debugging this issue and I think it would warrant a 0.6.2.1 version as a quick fix ;-)

Btw, personally I don't need the Channel Repository so a pref setting to disbale it would be also very appreciated but that could wait for 0.7 obviously.

Cheers and thanks for this wonderful piece of software,
Erik

I'm having the same issues as Nicksrick (see above). I know this program is not spyware, but there's definitely a conflict happening somewhere. I believe it's a memory leak; this string appears REPEATEDLY in my console logs, under the same thread as AcidSearch:
2006-07-31 13:52:01.703 Safari[458] AcidSearch is Running!
2006-07-31 14:05:32.539 Safari[458] theCSS:color:(null);background-color:(null); bgColor:(null) textColor:(null)
2006-07-31 14:05:33.165 Safari[458] theCSS:color:(null);background-color:(null); bgColor:(null) textColor:(null)
2006-07-31 14:05:34.045 Safari[458] theCSS:color:(null);background-color:(null); bgColor:(null) textColor:(null)
2006-07-31 14:06:06.492 Safari[458] theCSS:color:(null);background-color:(null); bgColor:(null) textColor:(null)
... (Repeat several hundred times)

It's not that the crashes are so frustrating as all the windows I had open vanish upon relaunching Safari, and I have to dig through my browser history in an attempt to find which pages I last had open. Annoying!

I hope the bugs get fixed soon. For me, AcidSearch is an *essential* addition to Safari! Thanks!

Just wanted to say I love AcidSearch and that it's literally the *only* reason I still use Safari instead of Firefox or Camino…if you ever release it for either of those two it would be great day for me and my computer! :-)
