WebSearch Panels (updated March 14, 2007) now with installer

[aidan_cage]

is there any chance to get the copied text commented in the tag values of the entire album?
in this way I could look up the album or artist info on allmusic, then copy the text to the entire album in the Comment field.
don't mean to be pushy, but I would use that often, and think others might too

also, it'd be great if the youtube interface would stop playing the video when the panel window is closed..

PEACE

any thinkers, takers, movers, shakers?

i got this one to work from walmart.com
my first to write
it searches the artist's albums and gives detailed info on albums.

where could i find other web search panels that are not listed in the forums?

i have found my favorite new website...mediamonkey forums...awesome

[aidan_cage]

I seem to be laggin whenever a song switches
I am curious to now, based on how the YouTube window will continue to play a video even when the WebSearch Panel is closed, whether or not the panel continues to refresh for content even when no window is open within the layout
is this happening for anyone?

I just found a site that seems very promising to find album art...maybe a panel could be made, but i don't know since the search doesn't seem to be done on the URL address...

http://albumart.org/

@Judas
I'm disappointed Search "Electric Dreams soundtrack" and this came up:
"Looking for something?
We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site" and redirects to Amazon like MM

[judas]

mmm..I'm sorry to hear that!

Thats weird. I did the search and allthough it didn't find the cover art you were looking for it did return a bunch of covers...mostly tangerine dream art

I didn't actually test the site much, just entered a local "vallenato" artist and it came up with a lot of covers, I was really impressed cause i had had trouble finding those on google

[Peke]

It actually found that Art under "Electric Dreams" (Second one with computer) but with click on it The result is seen. Result of my testing. Good Idea but searching algorithm needs to be improved with better possibility search checking.

I don't know what the median level of torrent use is on this forum, but I think a torrent search websearch panel would be an interesting addition

you know... listen to a song while searching for what is available on Demonoid, or Torrentspy or whatever
do you think it's viable?

i posted a compiled list of several websearch panels here:

I dont get this script to work.

When i am starting MM3 i get a error message that is saying something like this:

Error #457 - Microsoft VBScript-error
This key is allready conected to a element.
File: "MM3\scripts\Auto\WebSearch.vbs", Line: 504, column: 16

Does it have anything to say that i am running MM3 Beta?

Thanks for any help.

[Sn3ipen]

I am ofcourse using the latest alpha version.

Is there any way to keep it from duplicating searches? So that if I play another song from the same artist it doesn't search again? Every time it searches it causes a slight skip.
