AcidSearch 0.62
Well, after receiving a flood of mail, both kind and unkind, I have released 0.62. Yes, hell froze over, and yes, I have succumbed and made a universal binary. I'd like to cordially invite all of you Intel users to check it out. However, the following disclaimer applies:- The ONLY fixes in this release (from 0.61) are Channel Images, and Universal support (as well as including SIMBL 0.8.1).
- I am not responsible for anything that this may do to you, your car, or your cat, or even your Mac.
- It is completely untested under Intel processors.
- There are NO bug fixes in this release, besides the ones mentioned above.
Many of you probably think that AcidSearch 0.7 is vaporware. I can say this: contrary to popular belief, I am working on a new version, and it is coming along well. There will be new features in it that make it worth it. That said, I do have things in my life that are more important to me than my freeware hobby, and they continue to take precedent.
I'd really like to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported my work, by whatever means, be it consistent Safari crash reports (yes, I'm looking at you, Chris), or donations, or prods on the status of 0.7, or even just a thanks email. I really do appreciate all of these efforts, and they help me continue putting time into an otherwise rather fruitless endeavor. This is not a joke; I probably would not keep doing this, if it weren't for you guys. Developing freeware really can be a thankless job. Those of you who positively support me are what makes it worth it.

I think you mean "precedence", not "precedent". But thanks for this software! It's great.

Right you are, Grammar Guy. Oh well. By the way, I think you meant "precedence," not "precedence". But that's truly a matter of opinion. ;-)

Thanks a lot, downloaded it a few days ago. It's working fine on my MacBookPro 1.83GHz/1GB RAM. So glad its back! Made me shift back to using Safari from Camino.

Is the disappearing find-as-you-type box a new thing? Because I don't remember having experienced that before and it's causing a crazy bug over here! Can that be disabled somehow?

Getting a strange bug on find-as-you-type too - all the elements of the page disappear when you hover of them! It's quite amusing actually, but it only happens after you use find-as-you-type. Switched back to 0.61 which was working fine, but still have the same problem.

yeah that's the bug i'm seeing! it is kind of funny to watch. it seems that if you close the find-as-you-type box before it goes away on its own, then you can get to link safely..

The installation doesn't work for me. I'm on an iMac G5, and the installer freezes. After I force quit, Safari tells me that the plugin isn't recognized by Safari 2.03. Anybody else having this trouble? Thanks for the great software all the same. I use it alot.

Working much better for me than 0.61 was (which I had to stop using because of the crashes). Thanks for your work on this!

I too am experiencing the link disappearances when using the FAUT... hopefully this is getting addressed. I can't wait to get ahold of 0.7 :)
Soon hopefully?

Great app. Used it for ages on my Powerbook and downloaded it today for my new intel iMac.
It's great to be able to search directly in Google.co.uk.
Well done!
