For instance, I have: search_url="Free Dictionary http://www.thefreedictionary.com/%s" search_url="Free Dictionary (es) http://es.thefreedictionary.com/%s" and would like to be able to set it this way: search_url="Free Dictionary:fd http://www.thefreedictionary.com/%s" search_url="Free Dictionary (es):fde http://es.thefreedictionary.com/%s" -- Cheers Jorge.-

The current format for search_url in a_Misc_parse_search_url() is: "[<label> ]<url>" IMHO, it'd be much better to have it this way in the patch: "[<label[:abbr]> ]<url>" where "abbr" means abbreviation. e.g. search_url="Free Dictionary:fd http://www.thefreedictionary.com/%s" that way I could search "slick" from the location box like this: fd slick and keep the descriptive names for the GUI interface. -- Cheers Jorge.-

As far as I see, this is because the maximal width of these "inner boxes" is larger than the minimal width of the "outer box", which is defined by a wider "pre" section. The differences should depend on fonts etc. Anyway, Jorge has confirmed that his problem has been fixed by my latest change. I hope that also some other glitches (which can be seen but are hard to define precisely) have gone. Sebastian
