This is my first GreaseMonkey script for public release. This script will allow you to quickly locate a domain within the search results of a Google, Yahoo!, or Bing Search by highlighting the whole result. After installing this script, you will need to edit the variable site within the script itself otherwise all results will be highlighted. You can also optionally edit the color variable to change the highlight color.

Information:

  • @name Locate Domain in Search Results
    @filename locate_domain_in_search_.user.js
    @description Locate a specific domain easily within the results of a Google, Yahoo!, or Bing Search
    @author Mark Stoecker
    @version 1.1.1

Installation:

Configuration:

  • Once installed, open the script in any text editor and edit line 25 [['mydomain.com', '#color'], ['mydomain2.com', '#color']] by adding your sites and colors between the quotes.

Bugs:

  • URLs that have the domain name in them, but are not the primary domain of the site are highlighted.

To Do:

  • Allow for highlighting of multiple sites in multiple colors – Added by Alex Hall – http://www.devseo.co.uk
  • Fix issue where results that contain the domain in the URL are highlighted although it is not the primary domain of the site
  • Add internationalization

Change Log:

  • 1.1 -
  • 1.1.1 -
    • Added an Event Listener to wait to run the script until the page is done loading (window.onload)

Previous Versions:

If you have comments or suggestions, please share them below and they may be included in future versions of the script.

I completed my first GreaseMonkey script for public release tonight. For those who don’t use it, or have not heard of it, GreaseMonkey is a Firefox Add-on that allows users to write or install custom javascripts to alter the way a website functions. It is one of Firefox’s most popular add-ons with over 20 million downloads. Literally thousands of GreaseMonkey scripts are available at userscripts.org and new scripts are added constantly.

There has been a lot of talk and advertisement lately about Bing – The New Search Engine from Microsoft. I have yet to try it out to see how it works, as I never used Microsoft’s Live Search. I’d be interested to know what people have used it are thinking about it. If you have used Bing, how do you like it? If you are a web site or blog owner, how do your rankings compare to those of google or yahoo for the same queries? Share with others in the comments. Once I have time to do some research on it I will certainly share my findings.
