Something seem to have changed in how one links to a spotify search. The following code should work:
spotify:search:track:castle on the hill artist:ed sheeran
When Spotify opens it says No result found for "track:castle+on+the+hill+artist:ed+sheeran"
We have also tried percent encoding:
Castle on the hill Ed Sheeran
But this also fails.
Any advice on how to properly link to a Spotify search?
I figured it out, solution posted here
https://pappmaskin.no/2017/02/linking-to-a-spotify-search-with-both-track-and-artist/
There is a new format for the url:
track:"castle on the hill" artist:"ed sheeran"
And you need to urlencode that part separately, to
track%3A%22castle%20on%20the%20hill%22%20artist%3A%22ed%20sheeran%22.
And add spotify:search:in front:
spotify:search:track%3A%22castle%20on%20the%20hill%22%20artist%3A%22ed%20sheeran%22
Do you have to quote the fields?
As with the Spotify web API If you do that then
That means an “exact search”.
track:”check your self”
May not find track named “check yo self”
Where
track:check yo self
Might (I’ve excluded space encodings)
Have you tried to just encode the “:”
After track and artist?
And of course the spaces?

I want to search some URL within my company's web site, and with at least one "get" parameter.
Something like http://www.mysite.com/info.php?id=212
So, there should be a ? symbol in it.
However, I tried to use
site:.mysite.com filetype:php inurl:?
And got so many pages without any GET parameter, why does the inurl:? not work?
As you can see here http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2466433:
Generally, most punctuation and special characters are ignored in Google Search.
That includes the question mark, and that's why your search doesn't work.
We runnig site-s with EE 1.6.8... Not funny, but my boss like it...
So we implemented a search. Everything is fine but the search url is like this:
/search/results/0374c6c40f159934bc6795f031c4e52f10/
instead
/search/results/keyword
The developers said, that only a paid plugin can we put the keyword in the url.
OMG.
Is it true?
And another Q: after few hours the search url give no results back. It seems, that the session of the cookie expired or anything.
I have two ideas:
1. Our developers want to fool me
2. EE is so, it's not a cms just a cms like thing...
You are correct, the EE Search module uses session-based URLs for results. The reason being that search results are cached for performance, so those results need to expire after a short period of time (as new results might need to appear).
I assume what you want is bookmarkable search results. In this case, I suggest Super Search, or on the free, Google-powered end, the Google Search Results plugin.
Not 100% sure if it would work but in theory you could have www.example.com/search/results/keyword .
In your EE code you would put {exp:weblog:entries search:body="{segment_3}"}title:{title} etc..{/exp:channel:enties} as shown on http://expressionengine.com/legacy_docs/modules/weblog/parameters.html#par_search
The problem is when the keyword contains non [a-z][0-9] characters which is worth considering.
We offer EvoPost on our website for free http://www.eevolution.co.uk/index.php/addons/evopost which will enable you to capture the keywords from a HTTP POST variable e.g. search:body="{ep_txtboxname}"
Feel free to contact us through our website if you need any assistance with the product.

Is there any sort of documentation on exactly what parameters you can put in the url of Google viewer?
Originally, I thought it was just url,embedded,chrome, but I've recently come accross other funny ones like a,pagenumber, and a few others for authentication etc.
Any clues?
One I know is "chrome"
If you've got https://docs.google.com/viewer?........;chrome=true
then you see a fairly heavy UI version of that doc, however with "chrome=false" you get a compact version.
But indeed, I'd like a complete list myself!
I know this question is very old and perhaps you already solved your issue, but for anyone on the internet who might be looking for an answer...
I have been looking for this recently, following a guide I found on GitHub Gist
https://gist.github.com/tzmartin/1cf85dc3d975f94cfddc04bc0dd399be
More specifically, the option to embed a certain page of pdf using
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/viewer?srcid=[put your file id here]&pid=explorer&efh=false&a=v&chrome=false&embedded=true" width="580px" height="480px"></iframe>
The best I could fing was this article (I suppose from a long time now)
https://weekly-geekly.github.io/articles/111647/index.html
HOWEVER, I tried modifying the attributes and the result was simply a redirect to
https://drive.google.com/file/d/[ID]/edit
https://drive.google.com/file/d/[ID]/preview or
https://drive.google.com/file/d/[ID]/view
AS OF MAY 2020, THIS SOLUTION PROBABLY DOESN'T WORK
I'm also on a quest to discover some of the parameters of the viewer.
the "chrome" parameter doesn't seem to do anything, though. Is this
supposed to be the same as embedded=true?
Parameters I know of:
url= (obviously)
embedded= (obviously)
hl= set language of UI (tooltips)
#:0.page.1 = jump to page 2 (page 1 is numbered 0) - this is unreliable and often requires a refresh after the first load,
defeating the purpose.
That said, when I use the Google Docs viewer on my site, "fit page to
screen" is the default view without any parameters. So maybe I'm
misunderstanding your question.
Source: For convenience, this is a full quote of the sole answer (it is from user k3david) to the crosspost of this question #Doc has posted to the Google support forum in 2011.
You can pass q=whatever to pass a search query to the viewer.
I have a NSMutableAttributedString, Now I want to add Link to some portion of the text. how can i add a link to the text so that when the user touches the text i can fire some actions. I'm working in iOS 4.2

I did a library a few months back that dealt with that exact use case. However, I had to re-use it last week and found out that CMTextLabel isn't very user-friendly.

You could have a look at it. If you decide to use it and refactor some of it to make it easier to use, send a push request and I'll merge it.
I have a list of URLs and am trying to collect their "descriptions." By description I mean what comes up, for example, if you Googled the link. For example, http://stackoverflow.com">Google: http://stackoverflow.com shows the description as
A language-independent collaboratively
edited question and answer site for
programmers. Questions and answers
displayed by user votes and tags.
This the data I'm trying to accumulate for the URLs I have.
I tried parsing the URL's meta-descriptions, however most of them are lacking a meta-description (yet Google and other search engines manage to get a description somehow).
Any ideas? Should I just "google" each link and scrape the data? I have a feeling Google wouldn't like this...
Thanks guys.
Different search engines have different algorithms to get the description out of the page if/when they are lacking the description meta tag. Some ignore the tag even it it's there.
If you want the description Google has, the most accurate way to get it would be to scrape it. Otherwise, you could write your own or look around on the web for code that does it.
These are called snippets.
Google use proprietary (and possibly patented) methods to garner this information, so there is no simple answer.
As you suggest, they will use meta-description information if it is there. (How to set the meta-information to help Google.)
They will also honour requests from the page authors to NOT include snippets. (How to prevent Google from displaying snippets) You should probably respect this too (as well as robots.txt, of course.)
You may have some luck with existing auto-summary packages, such as OTS.
You may want to check AboutUs.org (i.e. http://www.aboutus.org/StackOverflow.com).
But, there's little chance that the site will have an aboutus page and not have a meta description.
Some info that might explain how google does this:
Webmasters/Site owners Help
Adding a URL to google
I am not familiar with Google APIs, but perhaps there is an official way to get such information.
Interesting. some sources are better than others.
For "audiotuts.com" google has a worse description than AboutUs.com.

I hate problems like these... they should be trivial but they aren't!
If you can assume English content, you can first look for Meta Description, and if that doesn't work, you can look for the first two or three sentence-like word sequences.
A product I worked on looked for the first P or DIV that contained more than one sequence of > n "words" delimited by periods. It would use the two or three sentence-like sequences, up to x total words, as a summary paragraph. It wasn't 100% accurate, but good enough for the average case. The number of words was adjusted a few times to eliminate things like navigation elements.
