Yahoo! Search for Safari plugin
December 26th, 2007 -- Posted in Apple, OS X, Objective-C, Programming, SIMBL, Safari, Safari PluginsToday I went in search of a basic plugin which switched the search provider for Safari 3 to use Yahoo! Search. I found a number of different SIMBL plugins, but all of them did a lot more than I wanted and/or were unstable. AcidSearch is unstable currently and also adds two menu items into the right click menu. This is annoying as I routinely right click on links to “open in new tab” and with it adding two options at the top it would always cause me to click on it instinctively instead of the option I really wanted. I also tried out Inquisitor 3 and while it was stable, it had a boatload more functionality than I needed or wanted (why go to Niagra falls when all you need is a single drop of water?). Not finding anything really to serve my rather specific desires, I decided to set out and learn SIMBL myself and write a plugin. (more…)
