WebSearch Panels (updated March 14, 2007) now with installer
WebSearch Panels at Google code
I set up a project at Google code which holds the current code in SVN and provides downloads of the installer as well. I updated the links in the first post.

HELLO PEOPLE,
looking for a Metacritic script (automatically going to the album review)
looking for a Pitchfork script (automatically going to the album review)
and i would like to see album art automatically saving itself for the first jpg file that's found. now copying the picture that my website found and pasting it into the 'properties/album art' tab.
any help is appreciated!

I have a lot of tracks with additional info attached in parentheses or brackets ("live", "alternate cut", "featuring so-and-so", etc.). This extra info keeps the searches from finding good results.
So I made a very primitive modification to this script that is working well for me so far. It essentially trims the title of a track when searching at the first parenthesis or bracket it finds after the first character (don't want to pick up those songs where the first part of the title is in parentheses). I also added special cases to ignore "part" and "vol" -- "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" got erroneously trimmed .
Anyway, it's primitive and could probably be accomplished in 15 better ways, but it only took 5 minutes, and it works, so I'm leaving it. All I did was modify this function. Sharing for anyone who may care:
I've considered trimming the .ArtistName field at the first comma too. I have a lot of tracks performed by multiple artists and can't think of a single one where the comma is part of an established band name. Consequently, I never get any results on the searches. I'd probably rather find the first artist than no one at all.

End If
End If
p = InStr(1, t, " [")
If p > 0 Then
t = Mid(t, 1, p - 1)
End If
URL = Replace(URL, "%artist%", .ArtistName)
URL = Replace(URL, "%title%", t)
URL = Replace(URL, "%album%", .AlbumName)
URL = Replace(URL, "%albumartist%", .AlbumArtistName)
End With
ReplaceTokens = URL

Wonderful. I'm glad I was able to make an (incredibly small ) contribution.
Something else I thought of that you may be interested in implementing (if it's not already there). I really like the Wikipedia window, but a lot of band names will bring up ambiguous results or just the wrong results altogether. This is the case for different panels for different reasons, but with Wikipedia, the solution seems to always be concatenating " (band)" to the end of the search for a direct result.
There could be a configuration screen or something, but a simple solution would be a small config file (perhaps inside the xml config) that mapped search terms to ones that would give more accurate direct results.
Something to consider anyway ...
Thanks for the great script!

Webnodes requires you to replace each "&" by "&" or the xml cannot be parsed properly - so perhaps the same is true here. Try this:
I don't have webpanels loaded so can't check though...
Code: Select all
<url>http://www.google.com/search?btnI&q=%22%artist%%22+%22%album%%22+site:amazon.com</url>
Thank you , it works spot on !

can i call a webpanel other than playing the track ?
i am using websearch panels to get book reviews ,
[img]http://image_farm3.static.flickr.com/2295/2338587438_0fe93627af_o.jpg[/img] i can,t get the image placeholder to show in the message.........
http://www.flickr.com/photos/linpinn/23 ... 8/sizes/o/
which works good ,in combination with " Lyrics and comment viewer " ,since i very seldom use the player , i use a mp3 player to listen to the books ,in order to get a websearch going , i have to "play" the track ;i was wondering if there is an alternative way to start the search ?
Thanks ,Lin

I am wondering if it would be possible to modify Web Search Panels to have Comments saved to Comments tag and a custom field.
Specifically, Custom 4, so that I may use it in conjunction with my little experiment in thisthread.
I am guessing that if it is possible, that it would mean modifying this part of the code:
Any of you scripting genius's know if this is possible and willing to help out?

.WriteTags
Elseif MsgBox(stringsMsgOverwriteComment, vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
.Comment = TextCleanUp(NewComment)

Thanks a bunch, One.
Will have to wait till the Monkey is done extracting comments to custom 4 to give it a go.
Figured that it would be pretty simple. However, I know less about scripting than skinning and I have been pulling my hair out getting my Slim Player idea to work!
Edit:
Just tried it out...
Works great!
Thanks again!
