I have been working with custom search engines in Chrome and Vivaldi, which have been absolutely fantastic. However, I have only been able to successfully perform searches that replace a single parameter (e.g., the %s in the following URL: http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/%s) with my search term (e.g., http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/trifocal).
Is it possible to replace multiple parameters for a custom browser search engine so I could not only specify a search term but also the webpage to search? For example, I would type the custom search engine shortcut "d" followed by "thesaurus, trifocal", which would input the two parameters into a predefined URL and search the word "trifocal" on "thesaurus.com".
Basically, I want to be able to search for multiple values at two different points in the custom search engine for scenarios where multiple sites use the same "base" url where the only difference is a word or two.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
You can use JavaScript. Take the entire string as input to the function. Split it based on some character and them trim the parts. Construct the link and then open it within the current tab or in a new tab, depending on which suits you.
javascript:(function myFunction(str) {
var part = ";";
var res = str.split(part);
var search_query = res[0].trim();
var category = res[1].trim();
var new_tab = res[2];
var res_url = "https://github.com/search?q=" + search_query + "&type=" + category;
// open in new tab if str contains a third parameter that is composed of zero or more spaces
if ((new_tab !== undefined) && (new_tab.trim() === ""))
{
window.open(res_url, "_blank");
}
else // open in current tab
{
window.location.href = res_url;
}
})('%s');
On minifying, the custom search engine URL would be javascript:(function myFunction(str){var part=";";var res=str.split(part);var search_query=res[0].trim();var category=res[1].trim();var new_tab=res[2];var res_url="https://github.com/search?q="+search_query+"&type="+category;if((new_tab!==undefined)&&(new_tab.trim()==="")){window.open(res_url,"_blank")}else{window.location.href=res_url}})('%s');. The function is called with '%s' as the parameter. It splits based on the semicolon character.
Usage: Let's nickname this custom search engine as, say, "gm". Then a search for "gm binary tree; code" will open https://github.com/search?q=binary%20tree&type=code in the current page. A search for "gm radix tree; commits; " will open https://github.com/search?q=radix%20tree&type=commits in a new tab.
Note that this function would fail if %s contains single quote(s). It also doesn't work if called from an internal page like Settings.
An alternative to accomplish your goal would be to ditch the custom search engine idea and use a scripting tool like AutoHotkey (Windows) to replace search strings by URLs.

I'm using a library nikaia/translation-sheet who basically pulls all the translations from the Laravel site into a google spreadsheet making it "easily" translatable with =GOOGLETRANSLATE(A1)
The problem comes with the parameters:
:price
:amount
:etc
So I've got the idea to substitute ":" with #nonmakingsenseworblablaprice so Google couldn't translate example:
=SUBSTITUTE(GOOGLETRANSLATE(SUBSTITUTE(B2;":";"#nonmakingsenseworblabla");"ES";"EU");"#nonmakingsenseworblabla";":")
Well, not sure why Google eats some letters and puts new ones:
:amount de saldo -> #nonmakingseseworblatamount of saldo
So I decided to do something like detect the parameter and change :amount to :a_m_o_u_n_t and that is apparently working and not being weirdly parsed converted or translated.
I was looking for a solution and found a similar idea but having problems migrating it to spreadsheets script plus is not detecting the parameter
Any one knows how to detect all :parameters in a sentence and put a symbol, slash, dash etc between the characters or letters? Example:
The amount :amount for this order number :order_id is :price
I've also tried regex but not been lucky so far
=REGEXREPLACE(GOOGLETRANSLATE(REGEXREPLACE(B22; ":(\w)([\w]+)"; "{%$1_$2%}"); "ES"; $C$1); "{%(\w)_([^_]+)%}"; ":$1$2")
There's a regex to select the spaces between letters, but good luck making that in excel or spreadsheets. Demo
Finally I've created a script to avoid parameters translation:
function translate(cell, lang) {
const content = cell.toString();
const keys = [];
const enc = content.replace(/:([\w_]+)/ig, function(m, param) {
const n = `[§${keys.length}]`;
keys.push(param);
return n;
});
return LanguageApp.translate(enc, "es", lang).replace(/\[§(\d+)\]/ig, function(m, param) {
return `:${keys[param]}`;
});
I am trying to find specific word in a div (id="Test") that starts with "a04" (no case). I can find and replace the words found. But I am unable to correctly use the word found in a "href" link.
I am trying the following working code that correctly identifies my search criteria. My current code is working as expected but I would like help as i do not know how to used the found work as the url id?
var test = document.getElementById("test").innerHTML
function replacetxt(){
var str_rep = document.getElementById("test").innerHTML.replace(/a04(\w)+/g,'TEST');
var temp = str_rep;
//alert(temp);
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = temp;
}
I would like to wrap the found word in an href but i do not know how to use the found word as the url id (url.com?id=found word).
Can someone help point out how to reference the found work please?
Thanks
If you want to use your pattern with the capturing group, you could move the quantifier + inside the group or else you would only get the value of the last iteration.
\ba04(\w+)
\b word boundary to prevent the match being part of a longer word
a04 Match literally
(\w+) Capture group 1, match 1+ times a word character
Regex demo
Then you could use the first capturing group in the replacement by referring to it with $1
If the string is a04word, you would capture word in group 1.
Your code might look like:
function replacetxt(){
var elm = document.getElementById("test");
if (elm) {
elm.innerHTML = elm.innerHTML.replace(/\ba04(\w+)/g,'TEST');
}
}
replacetxt();
<div id="test">This is text a04word more text here</div>
Note that you don't have to create extra variables like var temp = str_rep;
I am working with sitecore 7 content search.
var webIndex = ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_web_index");
using (var context = webIndex.CreateSearchContext())
{
var results = context.GetQueryable<SearchResultItem>().Where(i =>
i.Content.Contains(mysearchterm));
}
sitecore performing contains operation on the content string, content contains the whole content of the page and does not return the result as I expect, for example searching for "hr" also returning results containing "through" in content, I tried using startswith but that just matches the start of the whole content string, I tried "Equal" but that matches the whole word, is there any way to search content where a word starts with search term?
Define '^' as the first character of a search phrase, it means "Starts With". for example to define all terms starting with "hr", just add '^' to search keyword like this "^hr".
what is the proper way to implement an autocomplete search with undescore?
i have a simple array (cities) and a text input field ($.autocomplete). when the user enters the first letters in the auto-complete textfield, it should output an array with all the cities starting with the entered letters (term).
cities:
["Graz","Hamburg","Innsbruck","Linz","München","Other","Salzburg","Wien"]
eventlistener:
$.autocomplete.addEventListener("change", function(e){
var cities = cities_array;
var term = $.autocomplete.value;
var results = _.filter(cities, function (city){
return
});
console.log(results + "this is results");
});
I’ve tried it with _.contains, but it only returns the city when its a complete match (e.g Graz is only output when „Graz“ is entered but not when „Gr“ is entered).
the _.filter/._select collection at http://underscorejs.org/docs/underscore.html are not very clear for me and the closest i found here is filtering JSON using underscore.
but i don’t understand the indexOf part.
thx for any suggestions!
By using #filter and #indexOf, you can get quite close to a pretty decent autocomplete.
What #indexOf does is that it checks the string if it contains the inputVal.
If it does not contain it it'll return -1 therefore our predicate below will work without fail.
Another small trick here is that you (read I) wanted it to be possible to search for s and get a hit for Innsbruck and Salzburg alike therefore I threw in #toLowerCase so that you always search in lower case.
return _.filter(cities, function(city) {
return city.toLowerCase().indexOf(inputVal.toLowerCase()) >= 0;
});
Is there a way when using Sitecore Search and Lucene to not match partial words? For example when searching for "Bos" I would like to NOT match the word "Boston". Is there a way to require the entire word to match? Here is a code snippet. I am using FieldQuery.
bool _foundHits = false;
_index = SearchManager.GetIndex("product_version_index");
using (IndexSearchContext _searchContext = _index.CreateSearchContext())
{
QueryBase _query = new FieldQuery("title", txtProduct.Text.Trim());
SearchHits _hits = _searchContext.Search(_query, 1000);
...
}
You may want to try something like this to get the query you want to run. It will put the + in (indicating a required term) and quote the term, so it should exactly match what you're looking for, its worked for me. Providing you're passing in BooleanClause.Occur.MUST.
protected BooleanQuery GetBooleanQuery(string fieldName, string term, BooleanClause.Occur occur)
{
QueryParser parser = new QueryParser(fieldName, new StandardAnalyzer());
BooleanQuery query = new BooleanQuery();
query.Add(parser.Parse(term), occur);
return query;
}
Essentially so your query ends up being parsed to +title:"Bos", you could also download Luke and play around with the query syntax in there, its easier if you know what the syntax should be and then work backwards to see what query objects will generate that.
You have to place the query in double quotes for the exact match results. Lucene supports many such opertators and boolean parameters that can be found here: http://lucene.apache.org/core/2_9_4/queryparsersyntax.html
It depends on field type. If you have memo or text field then partial matching is applied. If you want exact matching use string field instead. There you can find some details: https://www.cmsbestpractices.com/bug-how-to-fix-solr-exact-string-matching-with-sitecore/ .
