Thank you Mark. Checking the status bar info everything seems ago. I am running it on a few computers and it seems to be this way for 1.1.1. But it definitely could be user error.
I’ll check back.

Thanks again for your great work.

Bing is still working fine for me. On the computer I am currently on (at work ;)), I’m still running version 1.0 of the script. I will give it a quick test on version 1.1.1 later this evening and let you know if I see any issues. Also, right-click on the greasemonkey in the status bar when you are on bing to see if the script is being recognized as a valid script for that current page. Sometimes I’ve noticed that a URL may not be formatted correctly for the browser to recognize it.

This is amazing! It worked yesterday in Bing, but for me will not today. Is it working for you still?

Thank you for the research and the information you found. I’ve noticed that google.de does the same as google.fr where it doesn’t highlight the results initially, but if you refresh the page, then they’re highlighted.

I am currently working on an internationalized version of the script and am finding that there are minor tweaks in the different versions of Google. Hopefully I’ll find ways around this soon and have a new working version posted.

Thanks again. Glad you like it.

Hey Mark,

i’ve the same problem of ju with google.de! Looks like the german version uses two different ways of search: 1. with js 2. non-js. When i deactivate js with the webdeveloper toolbar (firefox), the results were highlighted because the submission of the searchterm goes over the “normal” html-form and the url /search. When js is on, it looks like Google uses ajax to show the results and the greasemonkey script couldn’t recognize the links in the results. So for now, it works only when js is deactivated. The greasemonkey script runs in every way.

So long, it’s a great script!

@ju
I’m working on the issue with google.fr. The search URL is slightly different which is why it isn’t working for you. I got the issue fixed, but it does not highlight when you search, only when you refresh your search. I’m trying to get that fixed and will post here when I have it resolved. You can subscribe to the comments for this thread, or my site feed for future updates. I will try to have this resolved soon for you.
