Implement search urls from oMule? Like ed2k://|search|query|/

See here & here.

[Aw3]

This can be added. Do you want to help with testing?

[eeeeh]

I can do that...

[Aw3]

Here's the build.
Please post here how it goes.

Space gets replaced by + and won't give any results when searching from browser.
Most special characters like = & ! # % $ between two words give none or few results.
If a search is already in progress maybe cancel it and start a new search if you click another link. Annoying that you have to click cancel button.
Otherwise it looks alright.

[Aw3]

Well, + is there because browser should use %20 for a space, not plus sign.
We can replace + with space, it's not an issue.
I can see & and ! being used in the title, but I fail to understand what = % # $ can do there. In general it's not clear what to filter out.

It's better to avoid previous search cancelation. It will fill editbox with a string passed from a browser in this case, so you can start it manually when previous search is over or manually canceled.
Running too many searches over short period of time can cause your blacklisting by the servers.

Firefox uses an add-on which filters out spaces and certain characters. Couldn't get ff to take ed2k links so didn't test. With the opera custom search you can only add a search url with %s as the query to search by right clicking text and search with emule. Spaces turns to +. Spaces in ed2k links turns to %20.

If you mark some text with chars like = or # you will only get exact search results, but if you create a search url with those, you probably want to get only exact results, so I'm not seach what to filter out either.

Please try another build. It replaces + with space, plus filters out ! ? &.

BTW, you can also make another shortcut in a browser for the exact search.
Using your Opera example try to use " or %22 arount %s.

Don't get exact search with "". If I search for "insane quality" HighQuality-Insane.xml shows up, but it doesn't matter much.
You might as well just filter out everything except letters, numbers and spaces to not restrict search results.

[Aw3]

Exact search is a feature of the server, so I can't tell how exactly it works. I looks like in this particular case there's no difference. It could be because of the space.
But if you try "insane-quality" or "insane_quality" you will see a difference from just insane-quality or insane_quality.

BTW, thanks for testing.
