portablefreeware search utilities

#1 Post by ahoier »

I noticed the portablefreeware utility page today in the rss feed. With Google Toolbar, you can create search buttons with special functions/features. So yea, one of them is RSS feed updates :P You could add that to the page to, for those users (like me? lol) who still use IE lol.

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<custombuttons xmlns="http://toolbar.google.com/custombuttons/">
  <button>
    <search charset="iso-8859-1">http://www.portablefreeware.com/?q={query}</search>
    <site>http://www.portablefreeware.com/</site>
    <feed refresh-interval="3800">http://feeds.feedburner.com/pfc</feed>
    <title>portablefreeware</title>
    <description>The Portable Freeware Collection</description>

There is full documentation available at http://toolbar.google.com/buttons/apis/howto_guide.html if you're interested in other features/possibilities, but the above code will give the general functionality of an up to date RSS feed in the google toolbar, and being able to search portablefreeware.com from the google toolbar.

Thanks! I have added it to the Quick search page with a quick "Add to toolbar" button.

neat. if you wanted to, you could also try getting the button added to Google's toolbar Button Gallery ;)
