http://www.bing-vs-google.com/ has them the ‘right’ way round.

Now if only Chrome made it obvious how to install the provider….

Hi, I’d like to swap the sides on the DoubleSearchProvider panes in an attempt to overcome my left bias. If you do that in the provider, that’d do. Faling that, if it was a parameterisable thing it owuldnt be the end of the world.

Also the article should probably mention that middleclicking is typically wired up to ‘open in new window’

The web “application” piece of this is just one step up from Hello World, you can do it trivially in any CGI-like environment on any platform in any language.

This is VERY nice, Jon…both as a service, and (perhaps even better IMO) a great example of how to whip this sort of mashup together quickly and easily.

Obviously, it requires a background in Django for this to be immediately usable, but regardless: a) this is case for any toolkit/framework, and b) Python is so close to pseudo-code that anyone “skilled in the art” can basically just read the script and translate it on the fly.

Now I see how to wire up OpenSearch widgets as well…nifty! Thanks again.

Great point, thanks Philip. I switched to Python’s urllib.quote which now escapes the whole query string.
